Quotes
- His view on the world and religion is shaped by the Tibetan Buddhism principles. As such he states that "Every religion boils down to love, to a respect for all living things, to choosing peace over violence as a means of resolving a conflict. The essence is universal; it is only the means to the end that varies."
- While having the indestructible image, he remains a soft person: "I can feel very brave through all the action scenes in front of the people who are on the set, but when a girl comes close to me my face turns red because I'm so shy."
- Decent lessons to teach: "You can beat me up, but don't touch my hair, I will kill you!"
- "We are a global family. The religion is different, the languages are different but we are human beings and we need to help each other."
