American comedies about Asians have never been funny to me. That always kind of pissed me off.

People say, "How come you play bad guys so much?" And I say, "Well, have you seen many Asian good-guy roles?"

Looking back at my career, if there's one word that most people use to describe me, it's intense.

To suddenly be working with one of the top-10 directors in the world, plus the film was in China, I almost blurted out, "How much do I have to pay?" It was just like a dream come true. That was an amazing experience.

Nature is a big part of my weekend. Whenever possible, I take Friday and Monday off and spend four days outdoors. We should remind ourselves that there was something here before us, a force more powerful than us.

There are a lot of wannabe men in Hollywood. But when you have that Hollywood mentality, there aren't a lot of real, grounded people.

I've been in a lot of cult movies, but I've been very fortunate to have been involved in projects that people remember.
