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 don't make comparisons between any movies. I compare characters. All my actions, performances, all my films, they are driven by the characteristic. If I'm playing a cop, then I give him a particular style - I may not know that style, but as an actor I have to be responsible to do your homework and do your research and training and stuff like that.

I think action movies bring more excitement than tears, but I always want to take it to another level. I mean I think if one appreciates anything in life to a certain degree, it could possibly bring tears to your eyes.

Like any other actor, I draw on life experience.

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

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

I've always been in a rebel.
