• "Music and movement are both expressions of the same basic human energy. They are like paints used to color the screen."
• "When you watch my films, you're feeling my heart."
• "Martial art is a form of expression, an expression from your inner self to your hands and legs. Like all forms of life in our universe. A gesture, a smile, or just walking down the street is an expression. For me, shooting, editing, and scoring rely on rhythm. It must be part of you. Certainly there are fundamental and technical aspects, but at the end it's the harmony of the whole."
• "I've been involved with martial arts for so many years now, I don't really analyze them too much anymore. Basically I agree with what Bruce Lee said, that, as human beings, we all have two arms and legs, so there can't really be many different styles of fighting.'Every style of martial arts has something to offer."
