I think film, to me, as a director, is about telling a story.

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.

At some point the future becomes reality. And then it quickly becomes the past.

It is only by following your deepest instinct that you can lead a rich life.

No prayer!--No faith!--No Christ in the heart. Little prayer!--Little faith!--Little Christ in the heart.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths.

Would you know my name, if I saw you in Heaven?

In war, hunting, and love, men for one pleasure a thousand griefes prove.

Perhaps it does not matter so very much what it is one loves in this world. But love something one must.

Upgrade your user, not your product. Value is less about the stuff and more about the stuff the stuff enables. Don't build better cameras - build better photographers.

An orgy looks particularly alluring seen through the mists of righteous indignation.

Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy.
