A weapon isn't good or bad, depends on the person who uses it.

Usually action films have a formula: good guy gets in trouble, his wife dies, friends have problems, so he goes to the mountain, learns martial arts, comes back, and kills the bad guy.

I spend more time learning about Buddhism than English, which is why my English today is still bad.

Zhang Yimou is an artist. Sometimes we did only two or three shots a day because we were waiting for the sun.

Martial arts have two parts. One is external, other internal. The external is physical part. The internal is philosophy of how to be, what kind of person learns martial arts.

There is no pure success. I am action actor. I have broken almost every piece of my body.

Zhang is a friend of mine: he said forget about acting and just do normal things in the movie.
