2002 interview w/ leslie

i'm crying at this interview i just found that leslie did in 2002 -- he talks about his preparations for his directorial debut!!! 

here are some excerpts:

"The film - the Chinese title translates as ‘Stolen Heart’ - is to be produced by Cheung’s new production company Dream League, so named because he wants to “create a dream team not only for movies, but concerts and showbiz”. It won’t be a light-hearted romance or comedy but a period drama set in 1940s China."

“No matter how much anyone (tries to) convince me about how good-looking I am, or how strong I am. I know I am ageing. Think about it, Leslie Cheung is already 45. I shouldn’t complain but obviously I am not as nimble as before. Hopefully there’s such a thing as ageing gracefully.”

Cheung admits he told Time magazine in May last year when quizzed about his sexual orientation that “it’s more appropriate to say I’m bisexual''.  Was that a "coming out" statement, as most people took it to be?  “Coming out? Coming out?" Cheung asks, his voice rising several notches in amusement. "No, it’s not.  It’s not the first time I've said something so daring."


i'm so emotional.. oh leslie!! i can't believe he had invested so much into his first directorial feature. his first "baby" must have been so precious to him, but it never materialized.. GOD! 

and his coming to terms with aging.. he never could do it, could he? 

also, leslie doesn't consider his famous times comment as a "coming out", which is so interesting. he wanted to be daring, and he was.. more than any of us knew....
