The value of life, value of everything changed.

You have to give a shot to learn how to except it.

Its why I cannot finish my movie, he said.

Its not only about the censorship.

Asked on his advice for emerging Hong Kong filmmakers, To replied: Shoot.

If you have a chance to shoot, shoot whatever.

Of course its difficult to find the finance.

There are only two movies in production in Hong Kong this year [in the first quarter].

I have to wait but once it gets underway it will be very quick.

To added he was also in the early stages of development on a third movie project in Taiwan.

I want to take a stab at go out [of Hong Kong].

Not America, its too expensive.

However, To said he would never leave his native Hong Kong for good.

I dont want to.

I like Hong Kong.
