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.

Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art.
Zhang Yimou is one of the best directors on mainland China.
While films are a very visual and emotional artistic medium, video games take it one step further into the realm of a unique personal experience.
I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.
In the States, you can buy Chinese food. In Beijing you can buy hamburger. It's very close. Now I feel the world become a big family, like a really big family. You have many neighbors. Not like before, two countries are far away.
My wife is the boss at home, and my daughters are the bosses. I am just the worker. We are a very warm family and very happy.
When I lived in Hong Kong, I felt that Hong Kong is my family.
I can watch CNN on television or the Internet to find out what happened in Hong Kong ten minutes ago. After all, it doesn't matter where something is made, we're all part of the same big family now.
I have met Jackie Chan about 6 times up 'til now... and even though many people think we are natural enemies, I personally think he is a cool bloke and would honestly love to work with him in a film one time - that would a well brilliant movie!
Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope.

My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.
Watching movies in the U.S. is great fun because they get every joke, they smile, they laugh so much; it's a great feeling.
A weapon isn't good or bad, depends on the person who uses it.
Usually action films have a formula: good guy gets in trouble, his wife dies, friends have problems, so he goes to the mountain, learns martial arts, comes back, and kills the bad guy.
People would come to me and say, 'Jet, your Kung Fu is pretty good, do you want to be an action star when you grow up?' At 17, I was given the script and I went to make the movie.
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.
