The movie business is a big gamble.

Most of the time, I'm not even working; I'm just helping people, because I feel that I am too lucky.

I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.

I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.

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 will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.

Before I do a stunt, I have to make sure it is safe.
