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

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.

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

Working on a film, the setup for an action sequence takes a long time, and we need to shoot the scene many times to get different angles.

I think all actors want to change. When you do something many times, over and over, you want to do something fresh. But movie is still my business. A lot of action actors want change, but no studio wants to spend money on something that is not guaranteed; not proven. I think it is very difficult. It is hard to change.

I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.

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.
