Pierre: they say the secret of your success in that movie, the big boss, that was such a success here and rocketed you to stardom in Asia, was that you did your own fighting.
Bruce Lee: uh-huh.
Pierre: as an expert in the various martial arts in china, what did you think of the fighting that you saw in the movies that you studied before you became a star?
Bruce Lee: well, I mean, definitely in the beginning, I had no intention whatsoever, that what I was practicing, and what I'm still practicing now would lead to this, to begin with. but martial art has had a very, very deep meaning as far as my life is concerned because, as an actor, as a martial artist, as a human being, all these I have learned from martial art.
Pierre: maybe for our audience who doesn't know what it means, you might be able to explain what exactly you mean by martial art?
Bruce Lee: right. martial art includes all the combative arts like karate--
Pierre: judo.
Bruce Lee: --or karate, judo(agrees), Chinese Gung-fu, or Chinese boxing, whatever you call it. all those, you see, like, Aikido, Korean karate, and on and on and on. but it's a combative form of fighting. I mean some of them became sport, but some of them art still not. I mean some of them use, for intense, kicking to the groin, jabbing fingers to the eyes, things like that.
Pierre: no wonder you're successful in it! the Chinese movies are full of this kind of action anyway--they needed a guy like you!(they both laugh)
Bruce Lee: violence, man!
Pierre: so you didn't have to use a double when you moved into the motion picture role here.
