I always used to wonder why American actors were getting fat, then I made a U.S. movie. I'm seeing all the food every day, and there's lots of waiting around because making an American movie is very slow.

When you watch my films, you're feeling my heart.

I've always been in a rebel.

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.

Look at every action movie in Hollywood. Every leading man from Spider-Man to Batman to James Bond, 'Bourne Identity', every one of them possesses martial arts skills.

I'm a very emotional guy.
