Martial arts have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

All I can tell you is that you cannot make choices in your own career, either career choices or choices when you're actually working as an actor, based on trying to downplay or live up to a comparison with somebody else. You just can't do that. You have to do your own work based on your own gut, your own instincts, and your own life.

A large part of my life revolves around my dad. Sometimes, I even feel a strong sense of connection, something very tangible when I learn something new in the martial arts.

God knows the times I have found myself in absurd situations.

Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number really.

I don't want to be remembered as 'the son of Bruce Lee'.

You're dealing with a character who is, at some points, quite insane. And I hope that any wicked, dark sense of humor Eric exhibits comes out of the fact that he'd been pushed to the point where it seems quite sensible to say some of the ridiculous things he says.

Believe me, nothing is trivial.

My mother is very wise and intelligent. If I have children and can do half as good a job as she did in keeping me in line, I'll be very happy.

You only have the burdens on you that you choose to put there.
