I do some of my stunts for the things I have learned. But if it is for something I have never learned, then I use a double.

The audience makes the decision of what kind of actor they want to watch. I always have said in the last 20 years, the real boss is the audience.

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.

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.

Every President that went to China, I would meet them and have dinner and talk about the past and the future. That was in the '70s.

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.
