We're under Rigan Machado, who I think is one of the best jiu jitsu instructors at least in Los Angeles, if not in the world. We have a lot of his instructors here, as well as Japanese jiu jitsu, Japanese judo, and sambo. That was Keanu's [Reeves] recipe [in John Wick 2].

In fact rules are more important in our underworld than they are to the regular citizen who works within them.

I have a very strong belief in what I like, or a very strong opinion in genre films that I like to watch.

I'm an audience member too, man. I hate shitty sequels.

I consider Laurence [Fishburn], Keanu [Reeves], both very acclaimed actors, I mean so good.

Character imperfection is the important thing to keep them from being superheroes.

When I first met Laurence I was Keanu's [Reeves] stunt double on the first Matrix. So, a little evolution there with career status. But then cut to the thirteen/fourteen years later where now I'm asking Laurence Fishburne to trust my directorial capacity [in John Wick 2].
