When I was a young stunt guy the director would say: "You're useless..." But I wanted to be the best, I wanted to be a super stunt guy. That's how I built myself, because of martial arts and everything.

I've been preparing [Chinese Zodiac] for seven years, spent seven years on writing the script, spent over a year on filming it.

Sometimes I do need to go to karaoke, sometimes I need to relax.

Honestly, every movie I do in America, the only challenge for me is English. I've done everything already, for me it's pretty easy. Only the English.

In the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me 'Jackie Who?'.

I want to build up my philosophy... my philosophy with kung fu is to respect people.

Life will knock us down, but we can choose whether or not to stand back up.
