I spent a couple of years doing American films. I did a few.

When audiences look at an action actor like myself, sometimes we are very easily stereotyped or characterized as one type. They forget that we are actors, too.

I think every actor wants to try out different things.

I try to update my arsenal constantly. Learning different martial arts since childhood. To understand what's out there. To really be in tune.

As an action director I always try to bring something fresh and new.

There are two types of Chinese growing up in America. One is the kind that does really well in school, with thick, thick glasses. And the other is involved with the gangs.

For years, I looked to Bruce Lee as a mentor as being a Chinese and Asian man living in this country.
