As a lifelong practitioner of martial arts, I'm trained to remain calm in the face of adversity and danger.

What does it take to change the essence of a man?

I want to be able to work on a project that will give people around the world the chance to represent their own people, their own culture, their own stories, rather than just Hollywood - really, you know, dominated Hollywood. And that's a dream of mine.

I have no fear of death. More important, I don't fear life.

I think people are frustrated in this society, where predators prey upon normal, law-abiding citizens, and you never see justice in the courtroom. In my films, the predators don't get away with it.

The secret is not to act, but to be.

I was born with a serious spiritual consciousness and for many years studied different paths.
