I'm a big Bruce Lee fan, and if I saw Bruce Lee try to be some namby-pamby lawyer, I'd want my money back.
I was like, 'Well, we'd think he'd be useless around kids,' ... But I think he finds himself more comfortable around children than he realizes.
I'm impressed with the likes of Jet Li and Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee was a big hero of mine for many years. They're great influences.
So I used to put money in my pocket while working on the street corners, selling perfume and jewelry, and other goods that were supposedly expensive.
I pick up a lot of stuff from them, but I don't think there's any great trick to acting.
Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense.
Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set, and you're working out, you're going to feel good.
There is something about yourself that you don't know...
Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.
I just gravitate to those more testosterone-filled sort of parts than me playing something a bit more fairy-like.
The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.
You ain't ever gonna get an Academy Award for doing 'Crank,' and you certainly won't for doing all the other movies I've done.
It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing, making movies.
Jet was very busy. I've been inspired by a lot of his movies.
