“Hong Kong film audiences are very quiet. It’s their culture.”

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.

A weapon isn’t good or bad, depends on the person who uses it.

I’ve been learning martial arts since I was 8 years old.

I spend more time learning about Buddhism than English, which is why my English today is still bad.

My wife is the boss at home, and my daughters are the bosses. I am just the worker. We are a very warm family and very happy.

I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.

I didn’t go to normal children school. I went to sports school when I was 8. So I studied martial arts.

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.

I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.

I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.

You can beat me up, but don’t touch my hair, I will kill you!

Bruce Lee was very famous. I watched his movies and he is amazing. He is a martial arts master, his philosophy, his movement, both physically and mentally, were very strong.

Trying to guess what the (mass) audience wants and then trying to satisfy that is usually a bad recipe for getting something good.

The main thing is to be satisfied with your work yourself. It’s useless to have an audience happy if you are not happy.

I think there are two ways to depict a family. One is what it’s really like, and one is what the audience would like it to be. Between you and me, I think the second one is what I would prefer.

There’s that process of writing it – then you come out of your room into the sunlight, and you now have to complete the circuit and make the connection finally with the audience.

I was born, so that the whole world could be a spectator Of my triumph or my doom.

I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.

I never understood the need for a “live” audience. My music, because of its extreme quietude, would be happiest with a dead one.

If a film has a social message, it is very important for me to know what the message is and how it’s going to be delivered, but it’s not something I look for all the time.
