Bruce Lee only played himself. Chuck Norris is a martial artist that does acting. I want to be an actor that does martial arts.

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.

I just remember Bruce Lee blowing my mind on the screen, and I thought to myself, 'That's what I want to do for a living when I'm older.' Bruce Lee was so magnetic and charismatic and held the screen so well.

For years, I looked to Bruce Lee as a mentor as being a Chinese and Asian man living in this country.

Growing up, my inspirations were Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, all these martial arts legends. I wanted to express my talent on screen in a certain way. I felt that it made me a little different.

I wanted to be a martial arts film star when I was a teenager.

I don't want to be remembered as 'the son of Bruce Lee'.

The sad thing is, I never wanted to be Princess Leia - I always wanted to be Han Solo!
