If you're playing a cop in a modern film, you don't have to walk with your spine straight up and bow before a fight. There's a lot of free form of expressing yourself as an actor.

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.

Willful blindness sees no end of damage done.

Even if what you're working on doesn't go anywhere, it will help you with the next thing you're doing. Make yourself available for something to happen. Give it a shot.

You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.

A logical analysis of reflexive usages in French shows, however, that this simplicity is an illusion and that, so far from helping the foreigner, it is more calculated to bother him.

Everything passes. There is great beauty in this, both in the passing of pain and in the passing of pleasure. When things present themselves to you as permanent, don't believe it.

When the truth changes from your speaking, you know you have told the truth.

We are not obligated to open our borders and let America be dissolved to nothing simply because it's the greatest on earth and that's unfair.

Even today, I'm much more comfortable dressed in a male kind of way.

If you would force me to be unarmed and helpless I would have to do everything in my power to neutralize you... Peace and love will get you killed. That doesn't sound like a hippie.

I don't know about you, but if you hear that Williams guns have been taken, you'll know Williams is dead.
