I'm A People's Actor, Not A Critics'

I Haven't Always Been Warmly Welcomed For Holding My Conservative Positions In Hollywood. Then Again, I've Never Been Very Good At Being Politically Correct Either, On Or Off Screen. So Why Start Now?

It Wasn't Until I Went To Korea Out Of High School And Got Exposed To The Martial Arts For The First Time And Was Just Completely Enamored With The Physical Ability Of The Martial Arts And Making My Black Belt.

When I Got Into The Film World, I Got Sucked Into The Secular Aspect Of The Entertainment Field And I Really Drifted Away From My Faith. Its Amazing...as Successful As I Was As An Actor, And The Money And The Fame, There Was Still Something Missing.

People Study Martial Arts For Many Reasons, Sometimes All The Wrong Reasons. For Example, I Have Had Potential Students Come To My Dojo With A Belligerent And Cocky Attitude. When I Ask Why They Want To Study My Art, Their Response Has Indicated To Me That Their Goal Is To Learn To Fight, Which Is The Antithesis Of The Philosophy I Hope To Instill: I Want Them To Know How To Defend Themselves If Necessary, But To Avoid Fighting Whenever Possible Because They Will Have Nothing To Prove By Fighting.

We're All Human Beings. And We All Have Our Prejudices And So Forth, But The Thing Is, Let's Be Tolerant With Each Other. And If We Could Do That, There Would Be A Lot More Peace In Our World Today.
