About his controversial role as policeman 4708 in Yon Fan's "Colour
Blossoms" Carl says, "At the end of the day the way I looked at my
character...It wasn't about being heterosexual. It wasn't about being
homosexual. It was about being sexual. It's about sexual feeling. It's
strictly about sexual energy. Actually I had a revelation when I was
shooting 'Toh Sik'. Life is too short to worry about what other people
think of you. Personally for me, it was about really taking risks to a
certain extent. You know, not playing it safe, not being a safe
character, but trying to do something which other people haven't done
or they were scared to do. I might be a complete failure. Next year
you'll probably never hear of me again. I took the risk"
