Jackie Chan is like a big bro to me.

When I was a kid, I loved Jackie Chan.

I love 'Enter the Dragon,' and I love Japanese movies. I love Jackie Chan movies; they are my heroes.

I just finished a Jackie Chan movie, yes. That was an experience. I can mark that off on my bucket list.

I do find that when I see women who flesh out the television or film world and make it look more like the world I actually live in, I gravitate towards those characters.

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

In the film industry, we tend to pick up where others have left off, and I'd like to think the influences I picked up from Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone and Jean-Claude Van Damme are visible in my work.

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.

The Asian culture has to be a part of what we see on TV and in movies.

I mean the cool thing about the movies is that you get to try on these different personalities and different styles.
