powerful men guy
Bruce Lee was the first guy to bring film recognition of Asian men not being wimps, so it made me want to be as powerful as he was.
comedy kind
American comedies about Asians have never been funny to me. That always kind of pissed me off.
mind excited force
I was excited about working with Richard Gere. Oh, and Joan Allen! Oh, my God, she is such a force of nature, it's mind boggling.
careers people use
Looking back at my career, if there's one word that most people use to describe me, it's intense.
behind-you bigger worst
The worst thing that can happen is that the effect that they create behind you is bigger than the performance you're putting out.
guy lines
You can't just replace someone with a regular-looking guy who didn't say any of the lines.
smart artist people
I don't know if many people realize that Dolph Lundgren is a chemical engineer. He's not a dumb blond guy. This guy is smart and he's a martial artist.
acting taste depth
The power and depth of Japanese acting certainly inspired me, so I was determined that Hollywood was going to get a taste of that, that Americans were going to get a taste of Japanese action.
kids needs adults
Kids keep getting wiser younger, which is dangerous, and adults need to stop taking themselves too seriously.
tired age acting
My major intention for coming to Hollywood - besides the fact that I was just enamored with acting from a very young age - was that I was tired of seeing wimpy Asian actors.
friday monday powerful
Nature is a big part of my weekend. Whenever possible, I take Friday and Monday off and spend four days outdoors. We should remind ourselves that there was something here before us, a force more powerful than us.
people mind hollywood
The power of Hollywood, as we know, is that it can create these images in people's minds, and they live with those images for their whole life.
too-much week working-it
When you start working on a series, it's almost too much work. It's like a movie a week.
mistake fall standing
It's not whether you fall or make a mistake, it's what you do when you fall. And I say you stand up. You keep standing up. It's not how many times you fall, it's how many times you stand up.
