I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.

Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.

Actually, the few good Chinese movies that foreign countries choose to import are Zhang Yimou's, and mine, a few directors, but how many movies can we make in a year? We can only make a few, while they turn them out continuously.

I'm good for some things, bad for a lot of things.

I don't want to be an action star, an action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.

As a father, I always want my son to be perfect. When he was young, I tried to train him in martial arts, but he said, 'I don't want to become like Bruce Lee's son, with everybody telling me how good my father was.' I just think my son is too lazy.

Olympics for me is love, peace, united.
