My philosophy is that the most important aspect of any religion should be human kindness. And to try to ease the suffering of others. To try to bring light and love into the lives of mankind.

One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.

As a lifelong practitioner of martial arts, I'm trained to remain calm in the face of adversity and danger.

I've been a police officer for over 20 years, and I've investigated murders and all kinds of different crimes.

I always hated being a child. I always felt like an adult trapped in a child's body.

It is a lot harder now to be a police officer than what it used to be.

I don't consider myself a martial-arts star. I'd be offended and disappointed if I got a reputation as a martial-arts star.

I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol.

Most of the kids that I meet in the street are serious hardened criminals that I meet in the street, never had a mother and a father to love them, to protect them, to teach them right from wrong and lead them out of crime and gangs and stuff like that.

I have six children and I love all my kids more than anything in the world.

I've been a musician since childhood, and music is my first love. I love it.

I love music. I love filmmaking. I love law enforcement. I love doing a lot of the green work that I do, the charity work that I do, and I don't think that any one person has to be just one thing.
