Tibetan Buddhism, has inspired me and accelerated my understanding of life.

If you are always allowed to stop training whenever you feel discomfort, you will find it too easy to give yourself permission to quit.

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.

I didn't go to normal children school. I went to sports school when I was 8. So I studied martial arts.

Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art.

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

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.
