I just like to choose projects that will allow me as an artist to make my art.

I always tell younger filmmakers, it's not just about the acting or the art itself. It's about how big of an audience watches your film.

I have always been a great fan of Peter Chan and many other great directors who specialize in anything outside of action.

From my experience as an actor, choreographer, action director, and producer, I understand the elements and the dynamics of being a film maker.

Whether I'm acting or making it, at the end of the day it's telling the story; action, drama. You want the audience to feel it - the story, the action, the scene, or a particular shot. I just keep working on crafting my art, on how to make action movies.

For me, shooting, editing, and scoring rely on rhythm.

There is also a strong following among the urbanites on the East Coast when it comes to martial arts films.
