When I was 8 years old, I knew nothing about martial arts. The coach told me I was talented with learning martial arts, and put me in a school.

• 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.
• Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art.
• My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.
• I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
