2. SOUNDBITE (English) Tony Leung, actor - on receiving the lifetime achievement award:
“This is my great honour to have such a recognition from a festival that I have a long relationship since 1989 and I always wanted a Golden Lion. Finally, I can have it for myself. I don't have to share with anybody then."
(Reporter: "In this case no.")

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Tony Leung, actor - on how he prepares for a character:
“How I brought up, I used to suppress all the feelings inside. I don't show all my feelings in front of others. After I get into the acting class, I find a way to express myself in front of other people without being shy because they don't know that it's me. They think I'm playing a character. So, I think that's my style of acting. But that needs a lot of preparation. Just like I'm preparing for my next movie in Europe, and I plan to spend like eight months because I'm playing a neuroscientist. I have no idea about what neuroscience is. So, I have to read a lot of books and I have to go a lot of university hopping. And now I know almost all neuroscientists and neurologists in Hong Kong, and I have to do a lot of research. And I told the director, I need to do this little by little. So, I don't know. I just get into the characters unconsciously, I get into the character. Because after a certain period of time, after you read the books, after you study or you have a conversation with all the neurologists, somehow you just change your mindset into the neuroscientist. So yeah, that's how I prepare and how I get into a character."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Tony Leung, actor - on Wong Kar-wai:
“He never have a complete script, so you don't know what to prepare before shooting and you need to - I only get the script that day, so I don't know. So, it's very experimental, I can say. So, that's the reason why sometimes one scene we have to do like eight times. In the winter costume, in summer costume, in the restaurant and then at the beach. And then - Yeah. So, that's the reason why Wong Kar wai films sometimes take, like, a few years."
(Reporter: "To say the least.")
"Yes, because we are trying to explore everything on set. But that, well, that costs a lot of money."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Tony Leung, actor - on never planning his career:
“I never plan in my acting career. I never plan what I want to do next or what I, I want to do next, because I think fate brings people together. When something happens, it happens. Usually just like, Ildikó (Enyedi - director). My next project. Just suddenly one day she sent me a script and asked if I'm interested in it or not. And after I watched a script, I think it's very academic and I'm not sure whether I can do it. Then we have a Zoom meeting together and I never calculate with - I don't use here to calculate whether I want to do this film or not. I use my heart to feel the director. And on our first meeting, I can feel that she is a very intellectual person, very humble, very down to earth. And I can fell that she is a very nice person. And of course, I watch her previous two films and I've now watched on 'Body and Soul.' And I always say, 'Wow. How can I say no?'"
