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

Personally, I prefer contemporary films, but the market calls for more period choices, especially since China opened up a cinema market in Hong Kong. There's a lot of restriction for contemporary films simply because of subject matter.

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.

The main reason I like UFC is not just the martial arts aspect, but it's about one person against the other person. It's about being able to test yourself with the truth.

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

Doing a movie is a stressful thing. You spend months of you life focusing into that one project, and I want to make sure I do something I really like or I'm really passionate about.

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.
