I got nominated for my second film as best young director in the Aikido Film Festival in Japan.

Better to be called something positive and inspirational than something negative.

Martial art is a form of expression, an expression from your inner self to your hands and legs.

My action follows my characters. If a character is a cop, you cannot be posing all the time, you cannot fly off the roof because it doesn't make any sense - it's not practical.

I've always been in a rebel.

For years, I looked to Bruce Lee as a mentor as being a Chinese and Asian man living in this country.

There are two types of Chinese growing up in America. One is the kind that does really well in school, with thick, thick glasses. And the other is involved with the gangs.

The main reason I like UFC is not just the martial arts aspect, but it's about one person against the other person. It's about being able to test yourself with the truth.

I'm a very emotional guy.

Bruce is the man. He was definitely ahead of his time.

I always tell younger filmmakers, it's not just about the acting or the art itself. It's about how big of an audience watches your film.

First we have to understand that we are not the mind! We are identical with neither its bright, nor its dark side!

Longbottom, if brains were gold, you'd be poorer than Weasley, and that's saying something.

I am too weary to listen, too angry to hear.

This rock thing got in the way of my teaching career.

Courage comes from acting courageously on a day-to-day basis.

Revenge is never the best driver for a battle, but a common one.

If you want to be equal with me, you can get your own Rolls-Royce, your own house and your own million dollars.

I'm starting to realize I can't practice a certain way during the week and expect to play another way on Sunday.

Golf's for everybody.

If you keep hiding your true self, your life becomes like slow death. Once you become free from the lies and the hiding of yourself, then life becomes vibrant again.
