A weapon isn't good or bad, depends on the person who uses it.
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.
Eight years ago when I became Buddhist, I see that violence is not the only solution.
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.
Every year I go to China. Because my family, my older brothers, older sisters and my daughter are all in Beijing.
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.
Hero shows you how to solve the problem - yourself.
"Hero" is really special because there is no formula. Usually the good guy has a problem. This film doesn't have a real bad guy in it.
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.
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 never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.
I spend more time learning about Buddhism than English, which is why my English today is still bad.
I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.
I think "Hero" is not a real martial arts movie; it is not about violence, or formula.
I think Buddhism makes you understand more about life, and study and calm down and learn more about why we're here.
I want to thank my mum, my daddy, my coach, my teacher, everybody in my life.
I've been learning martial arts since I was 8 years old.
Love is more powerful than kicking ass.
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.
My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.
People are different than animals. Animals are selfish. They only eat and sleep and survive. People care about each other.
This film "Hero" talks about the peace of Chinese people.
We need families to start taking more responsibility in understanding which movie is good for their children and which movie is not.
When I lived in Hong Kong, I felt that Hong Kong is my family.
Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art.
You can use martial arts to tell a different story. Ang Lee used martial arts in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to talk about love.
Zhang is a friend of mine: he said forget about acting and just do normal things in the movie.
Zhang Yimou is an artist. Sometimes we did only two or three shots a day because we were waiting for the sun.
Zhang Yimou is one of the best directors on mainland China.
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.
