Of course we`ve been fighting against stereotypes from Day One at East West. That`s the reason we formed: to combat that, and to show we are capable of more than just fulfilling the stereotypes -- waiter, laundryman, gardener, martial artist, villain.

[on Ying xiong (2002)] Usually action films have a formula: good guy gets in trouble, his wife dies, friends have problems, so he goes to the mountain, learns martial arts, comes back, and kills the bad guy. But on this film, we talked about a totally dif...
Jet Li
Because of the influence of Chinese martial arts films, Hollywood movies are changing. The actions in the films are more beautiful, more rhythmic, and use some enhanced special effects. I think it`s a great thing.
Yimou Zhang
I thought martial arts were my great strength, but when I actually got involved in show-business, I realized I wasn`t the only one who could do these things. And compared to a lot of others, I wasn`t really that good. So I became a children`s TV program h...
Stephen Chow
[On the martial arts training for The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003)] "I saw Keanu (Reeves) sitting in a tub of ice. And I`m looking at him like `You`re in that for...` and he`s looking at me like `You`ll know one day.`"
Jada Pinkett Smith
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. Huo Yuan Jia (2006) is a conclusion to my life as a martial arts star.

The reason why I decided to wait two years after the Bond movie, and to work with Ang Lee in a martial arts movie, is because I really believe that this genre deserves more respect and dignity than it`s ever been given. Before, people saw it as a fairy ta...
Michelle Yeoh
Martial arts are art forms and require a great deal of discipline and dedication. I so admire people who focus their lives on it, because it`s not an easy thing to do.
Lucy Liu
[on Bruce Lee] Bruce Lee had bad eyesight and one leg that was shorter than the other. But he had a mental image of what he wanted, and he became the quintessential martial artist and the first Chinese superstar in American films.
Chuck Norris
[On Mixed Martial Arts as depicted in `Never Back Down`] I actually get a little upset when people say that it`s not a sport. It`s the evolution of karate, kung fu, ju jitsu, judo, muay-thai - all these sports in their singular form, coming together. Most...
Sean Faris
Martial art is ultimately an athletic expression of the dynamic human body. More important yet, is the person who is expressing his own soul.
Bruce Lee
[on Elvis Presley in 1957] Sung, played and written for the most part by cretinous goons; and by means of its almost imbecilic reiterations and sly, lewd - in plain fact, dirty - lyrics it manages to be the martial music of every sideburned delinquent on ...
Frank Sinatra
To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. If you want to understand the truth in martial arts, to see any opponent clearly, you must throw away the notion of styles or schools, prejudices, likes and dislikes, and so forth. Then, y...
Bruce Lee
The martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge. A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, but to knock the hell out of your ego, your fear, or your hang-ups.
Bruce Lee
Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope.
Jet Li
You cannot declare martial law without the support of Congress. It will be crazy for the President to declare martial law when we know that Congress does not approve of it, what with the present climate in the Senate,

When you`re dead weight, in the right position, you win. And in reality, you wouldn`t see someone my size kicking seven martial arts experts and winning.
Joan Severance
Most importantly, I am thankful to Prime Minister Koizumi, ... As I said openly during my court-martial, Prime Minister Koizumi will always remain in the heart and prayers of me and my family.
