An action choreographer is kind of like a dance choreographer. You choreograph the moves and you let the director, cinematographer take into positioning their cameras.

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

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.

Stay beautiful, stay positive, and remember that you matter in this world.

Conservatism is the maintenance of conventions already in force.

Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away.

You were born original don't die a copy

Remember chief of staff Rahm Emanuel's callous enjoinder 'you never want a serious crisis to go to waste'? This White House is a serious crisis.

All men are children, and of one family.

Maybe the biggest thing that I've learned musically is that anything is possible. Things can work when maybe they don't seem like they can.

If God wanted you to putt cross-handed, he would have made your left arm longer.

A long-term marriage has to move beyond chemistry to compatibility, to friendship, to companionship. It is certainly not that passion disappears, but that it is conjoined with other ways of love.

Along the coast the sea roars, and inland the mountains roar – the roaring at the center, like a distant clap of thunder.
