I'm not interested in a persona.
I'm not retired, I will continue directing films and doing fight choreography. I won't stop.
When preparing for the fight choreography, the first thing I have to think about is what fits in the script. Whatever goes along with the story line and the character's personality; they have to be matched.
The invention progress is tough sometimes. When I first choreographed the Drunken Master in the past with Jackie Chan, I spent months to create the whole sequence. There were no fight sequences before; it's just a name. I have to choreograph it all by myself.
You look for those actors or actresses that fit the personality to populate the film.
I have a lot of actors I want to work with; Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, and Uma Thurman.
There's such an emphasis on making money that we've really taken the humanity out of business.
Public relations, in this country, is the art of adapting big business to a democracy so that the people have confidence that they are being well served and at the same time the business has freedom to serve them well.
You'll never be greater than yourself.
That's my job. To imagine harder than you can.
