The movies I like to make are very rich and full of passion. Some people see me as an action director, but action is not the only thing in my movies. I always like to show human nature - something deep inside the heart.

I also wanted people to know that football actually started in China almost 3000 years ago.

I can use movie as a language. Not only could it send a good message, I could let people know about my thinking and how I see the world, how I see the colour, how I see the music, how I see everything.

I'm not a master; I'm just a hard-working filmmaker. I would like everyone to see me as a friend rather than a master.

My films are always concerned with family, friendship, honor, and patriotism.

For my own films, I would like to see 'Bullet in the Head' remastered. The original cut was actually almost three hours.

I have never intended in any of my films to sell violence or to glorify it. Even in the most intense action sequences in my films, there is a message about how evil violence is.
