Bruce Lee

Yip Man: Kung fu is more than a system of fighting. It's a system of thought. You must outthink your opponent, whatever form he takes... because some of them will be more than just men.
Voice of Young Bruce: What else could it be Si Fu?
Yip Man: We all have inner demons to fight. We call these demons 'fear', and 'hatred', and 'anger'. If you don't conquer them, then a life of a hundred years... is a tragedy. But if you do, a life of a single day can be a triumph.

When I was a kid I had all these crazy ideas. I wanted to show the world the beauty of our culture, I wanted to give them a hero, but a Chinese hero. But I want something else now - I want to stop breaking my wife's heart. I want to play with my children without having to look at the clock. They're American... I need to go back to America or I lose them. If I lose them, nothing means anything.
