AC (MARIO): Nicky Nguyen asks this question of you. "Before you do a scene. Obviously, you have to remember your movement, you have to remember the lines. What else do you put in your mind, your focus? Do you have any rituals?
JET: The first. I'm not Jet Li in the movie! (laughter) Just play the character! You need to forget your real life. You need to - in a half year (to) learn your character's life. To think about your character, the situation around him. So, what's he going
to do? Of course (this) includes the action sequences…in the beginning, to think about why he needs to fight with people. Because he doesn't want to fight. AC (MARIO): So there has to be motivation. JET: Yes, you need to think about it deep, inside, outside, to create a new character. AC (MARIO): Eddie Chung asks, "Do you have a special
diet? You are very concerned about room temperature water? JET: Yes.
AC (MARIO): Do you have a special diet? JET: Me? AC (MARIO): Yes, sir. JET: I like the fruits, more vegetables (laughter) not so much oils. Not a big difference. Just my habit. AC (MARIO): Michael.

AC (MICHAEL): Annie James e-mailed us this question. She says, "Your level of dedication to work is astounding. She'd like to know, "How do you motivate yourself?"
JET: How do I motivate? (laugh) AC (MICHAEL): How do you motivate yourself to work so hard working. You're very dedicated. AC (MARIO): Keep in focus? JET: I think when I was young, two years old. I lost my father. My father passed away.
So, I tried so hard to work. I wanted to get number one. When I was eight years old, I do everything I need to win, to do the best. I want to try to give my father a feeling (of being) proud of me. So, maybe…I try so hard. All my school mates, they have father and mother. I don't have a father. So that's why I always tried so hard when I was young.
