JET LI

Watching movies in the U.S. is great fun because they get every joke, they smile, they laugh so much; it's a great feeling.

I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.

Love is more powerful than kicking ass.

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.

While films are a very visual and emotional artistic medium, video games take it one step further into the realm of a unique personal experience.

I stepped into the martial arts movie market when I was only 16.

My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.

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.

I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.

People would come to me and say, 'Jet, your Kung Fu is pretty good, do you want to be an action star when you grow up?' At 17, I was given the script and I went to make the movie.

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.

I can feel very brave through all the action scenes in front of the people who are on the set, but when a girl comes close to me my face turns red because I'm so shy.

My manager introduced me to the 'Rise to Honor' team. I was curious about what it took to be involved in video games, a completely new form of entertainment to me.

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.

You can beat me up, but don't touch my hair, I will kill you!

And lot of Asian audiences and reporters don't like me to act as a bad guy. But I think I want to become an actor, I want to try different way.

I think the most important is when I was young, I learnt martial arts; that is my special key.

Zhang Yimou is an artist. Sometimes we did only two or three shots a day because we were waiting for the sun.

I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.

I stepped into the martial arts movie market when I was only 16. I think I have proved my ability in this field and it won't make sense for me to continue for another five or 10 years.

Zhang Yimou is one of the best directors on mainland China.

I remember when I was 11, I did some Kung-fu demonstrations in Hong Kong in 1974.

When I lived in Hong Kong, I felt that Hong Kong is my family.

Hero shows you how to solve the problem - yourself.

I have met Jackie Chan about 6 times up 'til now... and even though many people think we are natural enemies, I personally think he is a cool bloke and would honestly love to work with him in a film one time - that would a well brilliant movie!
