I got nominated for my second film as best young director in the Aikido Film Festival in Japan.

I certainly hope 'Dragon' can leave some legacy behind.

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.

Like any other actor, I draw on life experience.

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.

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