For a while, I had this uncontrollable urge - this addiction to danger. Now I look back and I think, 'Gee, what an idiot. I was risking my life just for the sensation of it.'

I have made a lot of mistakes.
It is a lot harder now to be a police officer than what it used to be.
There was a time when I thought I was doing a good thing with good guys for a good cause. Looking back, I think I really wanted to be a warrior.
I was born with a serious spiritual consciousness and for many years studied different paths.
I'm a hip-hop fan.
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.
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.

I was a very religious kid. I was raised as an Episcopalian.
As a lifelong practitioner of martial arts, I'm trained to remain calm in the face of adversity and danger.
You do 1,000 interviews, 20 percent of every one is not what you said, or is twisted a little. If you multiply 20 by 1,000 you've got a lot of inaccuracies out there.
I myself am a very nonviolent person and only resort to violence when I absolutely have to.
One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.
Criminals usually prey on weakness. They can smell it.
Action films are great, but an action film that has characters that are compelling and a story that people can care about is something even better. We love to see action heroes that are vulnerable, that are sensitive, that are family people, that are accessible.
I love getting out on the streets and helping people.
Try to find the path of least resistance and use it without harming others. Live with integrity and morality, not only with people but with all beings.

My people are my people. They love me and I love them. I would not be here without them.
Believe it or not, there are some things that I have written that would be kind of a dream to make. Hopefully, I will get to finance them... There is something that I wrote called 'Demon's Flare' which would kind of be a dream come true.
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.
I have no fear of death. More important, I don't fear life.
The secret is not to act, but to be.
