"When I was five years old, my mother brought me into the theater to look at a stage performance [of Peking Opera]. Basically all the male roles were performed by females. And strangely, those actresses were taken as guys, as males...You start questioning why you feel okay [about seeing such things]....With PEKING OPERA BLUES, I said I wanted to bring back the kind of feelings that I had when I was a small kid."--Hark, in an interview with Giant Robot magazine
