You can't just replace someone with a regular-looking guy who didn't say any of the lines.

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

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

In Hawaii, there are 50-year-old grandfathers, because they got married so early.

That's the worst thing for an actor: when you say to someone, "Yeah, I was in that movie," and they say, "You were?"

Actors are always looking for ways to build a character.

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.
