Bruce Lee was the first star I idolized. Growing up as a Chinese American, there weren't many people like me on the big screen.
There's a huge interest in the Chinese market, and Hollywood has a huge interest in the Chinese market with films like 'Transformers' making more money over there than here.
For most normal people, deadlifts stretch your hamstrings, but in my case, it tightened them, because I was already very flexible.
When I was a kid, I loved watching kung fu movies - in San Francisco, we had 'Kung Fu Theater' on TV on Saturdays, and they'd air old Shaw Brothers movies with English dubbing, things like that.
I definitely don't think I'm going to have a mid-life crisis.
I wanted to try every style available to me - large productions, small productions, studio films, low-budget. You just can't sit around and wait for every big-budget film to come along.
