I stepped into the martial arts movie market when I was only 16.

Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope.

My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.

And lot of Asian audiences and reporters don't like me to act as a bad guy. But I think I want to become an actor, I want to try different way.

I think 'Hero' is not a real martial arts movie; it is not about violence, or formula.

Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. He does one kind of martial arts that Jet Li doesn't know how to do and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesn't know how to do. You can both go to two Chinese restaurants, but both can have different kinds of food.

Hong Kong film audiences are very quiet. It's their culture.
