I have to humbly say people really like the bad guys.

When you start working on a series, it's almost too much work. It's like a movie a week.

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

The worst thing that can happen is that the effect that they create behind you is bigger than the performance you're putting out.

Before I started studying martial arts, I had temper problems. I could definitely fly off the handle. Being raised in the south in 1956 definitely gave me some memories to latch onto for negative emotions.

Native Americans say, "It's a good day to die," and samurai live their life to die honorably, so that kind of energy creates a certain mindset of reactiveness with control to a point. And after that, it's gone.

It's not whether you fall or make a mistake, it's what you do when you fall. And I say you stand up. You keep standing up. It's not how many times you fall, it's how many times you stand up.
