I just like to choose projects that will allow me as an artist to make my art.
I think every actor wants to try out different things.
When you direct a movie, you're basically looking at a story, the way you want to look at it. You bring that director's vision, and I'm totally open for that.
For years, I looked to Bruce Lee as a mentor as being a Chinese and Asian man living in this country.
Better to be called something positive and inspirational than something negative.
I act according to the requirements of the character, and if I try to play the role, then I play it truthfully. In my daily life, I'm a laid-back, peaceful guy. I'm just doing my job to act.
