There is also a strong following among the urbanites on the East Coast when it comes to martial arts films.

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.

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake it for the genuine article.

He likes to humble our foes by making them seem ridiculous. As he said to me the other day, ‘Kill a man, and you cede him honor in the eyes of the gods. Laugh at him and you shame him'.

ALL ART, OF COURSE, IS INTELLECTUAL, BUT FOR ME, ALL THE ARTS, AND CINEMA EVEN MORE SO, MUST ABOVE ALL BE EMOTIONAL AND ACT UPON THE HEART.

Play is really the work of childhood.

History is often not what actually happened but what is recorded as such.

Obviously [Black] Sabbath is definitely a huge name and of course deserving with Ozzy coming back.

It's really fun to act like a bimbo. But it's fun to act like a bimbo only when people know that you really aren't one.

The state of love is the state of grace. The development of that state and the unlocking of its mysteries brings one to the condition where there is no separation between oneself and others

You build something but you cant live in the house because you sit around guarding it.

Beware the beast, but enjoy the feast he offers.
