A weapon isn't good or bad, depends on the person who uses it.

My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.

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.

This film "Hero" talks about the peace of Chinese people.

I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.

Hero shows you how to solve the problem - yourself.

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 think "Hero" is not a real martial arts movie; it is not about violence, or formula.

I've been learning martial arts since I was 8 years old.

When I lived in Hong Kong, I felt that Hong Kong is my family.

I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.

Zhang is a friend of mine: he said forget about acting and just do normal things in the movie.

You can use martial arts to tell a different story. Ang Lee used martial arts in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to talk about love.

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.

Zhang Yimou is an artist. Sometimes we did only two or three shots a day because we were waiting for the sun.

Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art.

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.

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.

I want to thank my mum, my daddy, my coach, my teacher, everybody in my life.

A weapon isn't good or bad, depends on the person who uses it.

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.

Love is more powerful than kicking ass.

Zhang Yimou is one of the best directors on mainland China.

I spend more time learning about Buddhism than English, which is why my English today is still bad.

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.

This film 'Hero' talks about the peace of Chinese people.

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.

You can use martial arts to tell a different story. Ang Lee used martial arts in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' to talk about love.

I believe the world is one big family and we need to help each other.

Hong Kong film audiences are very quiet. Its their culture.

Wushu is the Chinese word for all forms of traditional Chinese Martial Arts. The word Wushu means the 'Are of Not Fighting'; The true Meaning Behind the real Martial Arts.

Wushu it is a philosophy of life. It is designed for defense, and not offense. It is a way to bring you mind back, and body into focus.

In martial arts, the biggest enemy is self. Inside you struggle because you want to prove something.

After every movie, I always kick myself for the same things-didn't do enough, not enough variation, not enough interesting choices, too bland.

I like so many different kinds of music that I've never allowed myself the limitations of one particular range.

The big problem is just this kind of gigantic piece, of kids reading less and liking it less and so getting worse at it. It's kind of this terrible spiral: Since they're not so good at it they do less of it, get worse at it, do less of it. And it's really what I discovered five, six years ago when I started the 'Guys Read' thing.

When I'm writing my blog, I think of myself at 13 years old, back in St. Louis, daydreaming about Hollywood.

You are the person you have been waiting for.

Somehow I think it was declared very early on that I was the - if not the black sheep of the family, not a very good student.

Celebrations of anniversaries of disasters, such as nuclear power plant meltdowns or political assassinations, provide opportunities, as do holidays.

You would have to be naive to think you can appear on television and not have the material edited in some way.

In our family, we've always been owned by border collies, or dogs of one kind or another, and have rescued many dogs. We've lived in the woods and sometimes have had as many as 70 sled dogs. Or had six or seven dogs living in the house. Dogs have saved my life on more than one occasion - and I mean that literally.

Listen to advice, but follow your heart.

I was in that part of the class that made the top half possible.

Work out really hard and be confident because bodies are beautiful, sensual and natural. I've also trained in Wushu, a form of martial arts - it's very beautiful and flowy, and it's predominantly used in fight scenes in movies, which is how it was introduced to me, and I just love it.

I lived that life for real, so to talk about it was like a joke, you know what I mean?

I think the intuitive processes of discovery are the same, very much the same, in the arts as in the sciences.
