I like meeting directors. It can be helpful because sometimes when you meet filmmakers you find out if you like them and if they like you, and that is important in terms of considering a role. Choosing a role is all about whether I relate to the role and the story really. That's the criteria.

I did do some things different [in John Wick 2], but it's different on basically the same things. Because I have the background from the first film, it was really the first time I was doing judo and jiu-jitsu.

I want to make a good, solid kung fu movie.

I thank the earth and the sky everyday for the opportunities I’ve had.

You know what, I'd done an interview show when I was like 16 or 17. One of my first jobs. I did interviews for this television show in Toronto.

I've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

Tattoos are interesting, but at the same time they are also a mask - you are exhibiting your past life on your body.
