I have worked with a great many comedians as opposed to comics, although I have worked with comics as well, I make the distinction.
“I wasn't planning on being a comedian; I just liked to laugh. Somebody said I should do it and that's how I started.”
“In the West, audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.”
