“A mob is a group of persons with heads but no brains.”

Learn the way and find your own way.

I think the most important is when I was young, I learnt martial arts; that is my special key.

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.

There is no pure success. I am action actor. I have broken almost every piece of my body.

If you are always allowed to stop training whenever you feel discomfort, you will find it too easy to give yourself permission to quit.

I stepped into the martial arts movie market when I was only 16.

Failure is a fuel for excuses.

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.

While films are a very visual and emotional artistic medium, video games take it one step further into the realm of a unique personal experience.

You need to drop down. Nobody is perfect, nobody is superhero.

My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.

When I lived in Hong Kong, I felt that Hong Kong is my family.

In martial arts, the biggest enemy is self. Inside you struggle because you want to prove something.

Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope.

My manager introduced me to the ‘Rise to Honor’ team. I was curious about what it took to be involved in video games, a completely new form of entertainment to me.

I am so happy because I want more people to like martial arts movie not just martial arts audience. Even martial arts can be used in comedy, in drama, in horror movies, in different kinds of movies.

Learn to use your brains as deftly as your powder box, and then maybe you have a powder box and do not need.

The brain, is the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your god like a soldier.

If critics have problems with my personal life, it’s their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it’s the charts that count.

What I appreciate is acknowledging to the audience that I think they have brains.

To count – really and truly to count – a woman must have goodness or brains.

It is essential to understand our brains in some detail if we are to assess correctly our place in this vast and complicated universe we see all around us.

If I’m not writing about myself, then I sit down with people I really dig writing with and throw ’em out and see if something sticks. Their brain plus mine hopefully will make something interesting and cool and it will just snowball and we’ll have a unique song by the end of it.
