DHAKA: Director John Woo said that he had beaten throat cancer and had no thoughts of retiring any time soon.
‘I have recovered completely... I see how precious life is. I'm grateful to be making movies and will continue to make another five to 10 more movies,’ Woo, 68, told Life! on Thursday, reports The Straits Times.
‘I will try to cut down on my work, to give more time to my children, to speak to them and listen to them. I want to thank everyone who was concerned about my health,’ he said.
The father of three is in Singapore to attend the local premiere of his latest film, the wartime romance The Crossing.
Two years ago, he was forced to postpone production of the US$65-million project to seek treatment.
