I couldn't care less about actors' trailers and food on sets and stuff like that - I just want to act.
Only by letting go can we truly possess what is real.
Working in front of the camera keeps me alive.
In the West audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.
I don't like muscles too much. Flexibility and a relaxed look are more important.
As an actor we're just like workers in a factory, we provide our services to directors.
