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.

In my mind, martial arts movies are martial arts movies and action is action. It's quite different, because martial arts doesn't just have physical form; you have a philosophy, internal and external. A lot of it involves your life. How you see the world. An action film I think is just about the movement. I think it's different.

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

My manager introduced me to the 'Rise to Honor' team. I was curious about what it took to be involved in video games, a completely new form of entertainment to me.

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.

But recently I've, the past few years, I'm more focused on meditation. It's not a physical part. It's more mental part, to understand life.

When you have a friend you work with for 15 years, you become like brothers.
