“I've done my work and I'm happy with it... I respect my father very much, but I'm a very different person than he was.”
“I don't want to be remembered as the son of Bruce Lee.”
"A large part of my life revolves around my dad. Sometimes, I even feel a strong sense of connection, something very tangible when I learn something new in the martial arts.”
“I never expected to hear something like that, I mean you don't hear about people from here that are in the war.”
“Some of my friends are scared right now, because the war is going on right now.”
"Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.”
“Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number really.”
“For me, the martial arts is a search for something inside. It's not just a physical discipline.”
I always had a pretty good knack for raising hell.
[About "The Crow"] "I`ve done other films with violence in them, but I must say I`ve never done anything where I felt the violence was as justified as it is in this...This is justice."
[About Eric Draven] He has something he has to do and he is forced to put aside his own pain long enough to go do what he has to do."
(on why he refused the role in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story") It`s such an intensely personal thing for me.. I`d probably have been a little too crazy.
[About "The Crow"] "It`s a story about justice for victims."
(on why his film roles echo those of his dad) It`s either in the genes, or I watched too many of his movies as a kid.
(explaining that he feels no particular affinity for Asia and does not want to live there) The trip reinforced my suspicions that, despite my Pacific Rim heritage, I`m about as American as you get.
You only have the burdens on you that you choose to put there.
(on his last film, "The Crow") I don`t know if I was destined to play this role, but I feel very fortunate to be doing so.
All I can tell you is that you cannot make choices in your own career, either career choices or choices when you`re actually working as an actor, based on trying to downplay or live up to a comparison with somebody else. You just can`t do that. You have to do your own work based on your own gut, your own instincts, and your own life.
A fight can express things people might not be able to say with words.
Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you cannot conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.
