AC (MARIO): Do you dedicate your films to your father? Do you say, "Dad, this is for you. I'm going to go do a great scene?"

JET: No, I never remember my father because I don't know, I don't have a picture in my mind what, who is my father. I always remember my mother in my heart.

AC (MARIO): That's wonderful. Do you plan to publish a book about your martial arts experiences? Are you thinking about a book, or are you focusing only on movies?

JET: From now, I'm only focusing on movies. Because I'm thirty-seven years old. (laughter) So, I've been in martial arts already 28 years. 28 years already! So, I think to make movies is more fun. Maybe, the next 5 years later, or 7 years later, I'm getting old, I cannot move again, so maybe I focus on different kinds of martial arts, write a book, so do something, but right now I still have energy to do! (laughter)

AC (MARIO): That's the question that Alameda wrote. Would you like to play a role where your character is physically handicapped? There are no action scenes, just passion, love and emotion?

JET: Of course, I like movies. I'm an actor, so I want to play different kinds of characters. But, I think I remember why I first make movie, after (my) first movie "Shaolin Temple," the reporter started to ask the same question. The same question, in the past twenty years. But nobody's given me a chance to play the character without action. I hope in the States or in the future, Asia, the directors and producers can give me the chance to play some kind of characters. A wonderful story, no action. I'd like to try.

AC (MARIO): That's a great idea. Michael.

AC (MICHAEL): Joey sent us a question. He says that he watched you on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show." He was really impressed by how much your English has improved. He'd like to know, what has been the most challenging about learning English?

JET: Oh. (laughter) That's so hard. I remember, two years ago, I just started to learn English. Then, the first time I did an interview, I stand up in front of the camera, so I don't know how to do! You know, I can't understand what they are asking me?! What's the question?! (laughter) What should I do? What should I do? I tried to use my body language to tell something. I think the most important�is you try to tell�use your heart, use your mind to tell the audience. Even English is not my mother language, but I tell the truth, what I am feeling. I think they understand that. So, after that, I studied English. It's not easy. (laughter) For thirty years old, you start a different language. You always put a wrong order, the time, you know!

AC (MARIO): You do very well.

JET: Thank you!
