Jackie Chan is like a big bro to me.

It's true that as Mr. Chan makes more American movies - and gets older - we will never again see the kind of fistfight choreography that the star would devote four months to shoot.

There's always a concern as an actor that you'll be boring unless your character is swinging from a chandelier.

I have two sons in America, and all they care about in Chinese culture is Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Captain Yoo Si Jin is most similar to me. He takes his job very seriously, but in his free time, he's playful.

Many people have vied to become the third Weinstein brother, and I'm not sure why, but that distinction only goes to one person - Quentin Tarantino.

Two actors can be friends very easily. I think two actresses can also be friends.

I worked with Jackie Chan for a long time, and seeing how much pain he's in, I realized that that might not be a sustainable career for me. So I started to develop my career as a dramatic actor rather than as an action actor.

Prior to 'Tokyo Drift,' the iconic perception of Asians in Hollywood films has been either the Kung Fu guy, the Yakuza guy or some technical genius. It used to be such a joke, to be laughed at rather than with.

I have always been a great fan of Peter Chan and many other great directors who specialize in anything outside of action.
