hong-kong remember kung-fu
I remember when I was 11, I did some Kung-fu demonstrations in Hong Kong in 1974.
strong philosophy chinese
I need to talk about Chinese culture. We have deep, strong philosophy and culture. I want to share some information, tell the worldwide audience.
use i-have-learned ifs
I do some of my stunts for the things I have learned. But if it is for something I have never learned, then I use a double.
hong-kong culture quiet
Hong Kong film audiences are very quiet. It's their culture.
thinking guy trying
And lot of Asian audiences and reporters don't like me to act as a bad guy. But I think I want to become an actor, I want to try different way.
acting normal forget
Zhang is a friend of mine: he said forget about acting and just do normal things in the movie.
thinking over-you actors
I think all actors want to change. When you do something many times, over and over, you want to do something fresh. But movie is still my business. A lot of action actors want change, but no studio wants to spend money on something that is not guaranteed; not proven. I think it is very difficult. It is hard to change.
art philosophy thinking
In my mind, martial arts movies are martial arts movies and action is action. It's quite different, because martial arts doesn't just have physical form; you have a philosophy, internal and external. A lot of it involves your life. How you see the world. An action film I think is just about the movement. I think it's different.
art thinking years
I stepped into the martial arts movie market when I was only 16. I think I have proved my ability in this field and it won't make sense for me to continue for another five or 10 years.
brother years
When you have a friend you work with for 15 years, you become like brothers.
girl people brave
I can feel very brave through all the action scenes in front of the people who are on the set, but when a girl comes close to me my face turns red because I'm so shy.
teacher daddy want
I want to thank my mum, my daddy, my coach, my teacher, everybody in my life.
past years meditation
But recently I've, the past few years, I'm more focused on meditation. It's not a physical part. It's more mental part, to understand life.
hero people chinese
This film 'Hero' talks about the peace of Chinese people.
