Q: I require to ask the question in English first and ask you in Chinese. If you like you can answer in Chinese, please. I guess everybody in Taiwan is jumping up and down right now. Taiwan is probably starting to sinking because everybody too happy for you right now. So can you do you mind to share your excitement and your journey for the whole process and how excited you are?
Ang Lee: As you know, 90 percent of the movie was shot in Taiwan and they gave us a lot of physical help, location and also financial help. And that’s a town of passion; everybody try to give their… So my best wish to win this is actually come up and thank people I need to thank, including people in Taiwan. So it’s a very sweet moment for me. I have to say I screw up little bit because there are six Indian names I want to mention and I couldn’t say them very fast, so I skip them. They’re Irrfan Khan, Tabu, Adil [Hussain], Ayush [Tandon], and then a French movie star Gérard Depardieu and English actor Rafe Spall. This is really an international film. I’m glad that Taiwan get to contribute this much to the film, therefore, present the movie to the whole world. I just feel like this movie really belong to the world. I’m very happy that I get this and I share the excitement with all the Taiwanese people and the Chinese and Asian people everywhere.

yet one more reason to be proud of my taiwanese heritage.
