I was never into the popular school or clique or anything. Then I started doing movies when I was in high school, so then I got popular. Then the girls paid attention to you who didn't before.
I like movies I can relate to.
People don't have these tidy little redemption arcs in reality the way they do in movies.
The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.
I played Winnie Cooper on 'The Wonder Years' from ages 12-18, and did a few other movies during some of the summers.
I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.
I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.
You know those movies where the people in the audience are screaming, 'Don't go in that door!' because you know the killer is there? Well, it is the same thing with this debt. We know how this ends.
I love the movies, and when I go to see a movie that's been made from one of my books, I know that it isn't going to be exactly like my novel because a lot of other people have interpreted it. But I a...
