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.

Love is more powerful than kicking ass.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 do some of my stunts for the things I have learned. But if it is for something I have never learned, then I use a double.

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.

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

Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. He does one kind of martial arts that Jet Li doesn't know how to do and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesn't know how to do. You can both go to two Chinese restaurants, but both can have different kinds of food.

Hero shows you how to solve the problem - yourself.

I can feel very brave through all the action scenes in front of the people who are on the set, but when a girl comes close to me my face turns red because I'm so shy.

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

I think the most important is when I was young, I learnt martial arts; that is my special key.

My manager introduced me to the 'Rise to Honor' team. I was curious about what it took to be involved in video games, a completely new form of entertainment to me.

I didn't go to normal children school. I went to sports school when I was 8. So I studied martial arts.

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

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