American stuntmen are smart - they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car they calculate everything: the speed the distance... But in Hong Kong we don't know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you've got the guts you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.
All the business of war and indeed all the business of life is to endeavour to find out what you don't know by what you do that's what I called 'guess what was at the other side of the hill'.
