When I was a young stunt guy the director would say: "You're useless..." But I wanted to be the best, I wanted to be a super stunt guy. That's how I built myself, because of martial arts and everything.
I really hope someday in Hollywood, some producer or director will hire me only to do drama.
Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.
Every time I make an American film I just trust the American director and American writer. Myself, I would never make this kind of film. For me, those kinds of films are ridiculous. They don't make sense.
Today when our actors go to the U.S., what movies can they make? Can they appear in 'Titanic'? Could they do 'Kramer vs. Kramer'? No. No actor could do it,
Breathing hurts. ... It hurts to draw my fist. It's been hard filming fight scenes these past two days.
When I was a child, I was very poor and wanted everything. So when I got money, I began buying things.
One day, I want to make a PG film.
I want to try something different in Hollywood, to tell the audience I am not just an actor star - I am an actor, too.
I really like children to watch my movies.
I just make good movies. That's the way I thank my fans.
I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film.
If everyone does some good, think of what a good world this will be.
When I give somebody something and see their face, it just makes me so happy.
