To make a kung fu film is like a dream come true, because I'm a big fan of kung fu movies and I'm learning kung fu for a long time.

I did learn Chinese kung-fu in a school for a short time, but I couldn't afford to pay for long-term learning.

One very important element for me to make a movie is, it has to be unique and different from any other.

Why do I use the same actors in different movies? One of the things I really stress in casting is I need to find someone who is suitable for the role in the movie. That's always the main reason.

Well, football is a hard game; there's no denying it. It's a game that can bring out the worst in you, at times.

As an athlete, I'd average four hours a day. It doesn't sound like a lot when some people say they're training for 10 hours, but theirs includes lunch, massage and breaks. My four hours was packed with work.

My character is just an extension of me. The in-ring work, the things that will always be said about me: Big, overbearing, powerful, in-your-face, couldn't wrestle - I never needed to wrestle. Why did I need to learn how to wrestle? Did Hulk Hogan need to learn how to wrestle? Nope. Is Hulk Hogan a good athlete? Nope.

I started out playing football in the streets, playing barefoot like all the boys there - we didn't have the money for football boots.
