I think "Hero" is not a real martial arts movie; it is not about violence, or formula.
I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.
I knew nothing about martial arts. The coach told me I was talented with learning martial arts, and put me in a school. Three years later I got my first championship in China.
I need to talk about Chinese culture. We have deep, strong philosophy and culture. I want to share some information, tell the worldwide audience.
I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.
Everywhere I go, I still have time to meditate. People think meditating is sitting there, nobody bothering you, but you can even talk and still meditate.
I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.
I want to thank my mum, my daddy, my coach, my teacher, everybody in my life.
I've been learning martial arts since I was 8 years old.
Love is more powerful than kicking ass.
My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.
I spend more time learning about Buddhism than English, which is why my English today is still bad.
Every President that went to China, I would meet them and have dinner and talk about the past and the future. That was in the '70s.
This film "Hero" talks about the peace of Chinese people.
Bruce Lee was very famous. I watched his movies and he is amazing. He is a martial arts master, his philosophy, his movement, both physically and mentally, were very strong.
