Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.
I thought I should forget Hollywood and go back to Hong Kong. I'm so lucky that finally Hollywood accepts my comedy fighting.
When I came to Hollywood, I spoke no English - except nobody bullied me. Every day, I had nothing to do except training in English, to keep talking.
I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.
I sometimes just don't like to see the Ultimate Fighting. I just find it, as a martial artist, I just find it too violent.
I really hope someday in Hollywood, some producer or director will hire me only to do drama.
I play a nobody in Japan.
Sometimes you think the movie is good and BOOM! Sometimes you think it's no good. BAAM! The movie business is a big gamble. You never know.
Even during the promotion I told people that I didn't like Rush Hour. The jokes I didn't understand and the fighting, compared to my Hong Kong films was terrible. A lot of people didn't like it. But mostly people did like it, they really liked it. Rush Hour really brought me to the American family audience.
I love wushu a lot and I would love to see it included in future Olympic Games.
I have a metal plate in my head, and can pop my shoulder and pop it back.
Every country when they have Olympics, a lot of people come out opposed.
Of course I get hurt.
Actor's life is very long.
