In my view, Zhang Lanxin is one of our best female martial artists, and I can't rate her highly enough.

I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.

We have to do what we can to help wherever and whenever it is possible for us to help.

When I am making a film, I know what to do in front of a camera. What frightens me are the scenes with dialogue. Sometime they really want me to speak perfectly and I don't like that.
