I was born in 1964. I grew up in a poor family.
I went into the Academy for Performing Arts to learn acting. My family did not oppose me because my mom was not exactly sure what was happening.
My wife and I dated for 12 years before getting married.
I like my wife because she actually likes my personality instead of my looks. Well, I guess that makes sense.
When it comes to love, personality should be much more important than appearance. However, we have eyes, which complicate everything.
Everyone is like a mirror to each other. We find a bit of ourselves in each other.
My wife is adorable because she finds me adorable. I am so proud of her because she is so proud of me. That’s not narcissism – it’s just human.
Love, like water, is a kind of necessity.
People not in love are like people with a glass half-full - they can only either complain about not having it or savor sweet memories.
Love is a natural thing. I don’t think it is a sin to fall for someone else even if you are married.
My wife and I like visiting galleries around the world. We like exploring feelings in different art forms, like dramas, operas and paintings.
Having common hobbies is important. Aside from the quality time spent together, the shared memory is equally important.
Ups and downs in relationships are inevitable, but shared memories remind people of their affection for each other - and keeps people together at rough times.
I used to be short and unattractive. Girls either didn’t notice me and even if they did, they chose to ignore me.
I am still short but as my career has developed, girls find me attractive and we get along better.
If you are not beautiful, be smart or be really nice.
As a boy, I was very shy and quiet. But I think a lot and that enabled me to develop sensitivity to empathize with others.
To develop an art culture, we need to cultivate the ability to appreciate art in children.
I bring my son to different activities so he can discover his passion early on and cultivate his skills.
An enthusiast sees more than we think. A video game fanatic may see the underlying principles of game design and create his own game.
A man with humor is usually the man who lives well.
Humor turns a boring life into a splendid one. The actor whom I appreciate most is Eric Tsang Chi-wai – he is funny both on stage and in private.  He is blessed 
with talent.
A sense of humor is hard. When people expect you to be funny and you don't deliver, they will despise you.
Comedy is a piece of hard work that will never earn you an Oscar. 
I’m now rehearsing for the drama “Tian Gong Kai Wu,” for the Hong Kong Arts Festival. The drama recounts Hong Kong’s memories and history over the 
past century.
Objects appear, evolve and disappear as time goes by. TVs , Nintendos, humans...
In the entertainment industry, ends justify the means.
We need attention. If sex appeal is your thing, by all means start flashing!
There is no place like home, or Hong Kong. Everything is so familiar here... It is the place where I belong.
Mao Zedong is my hero for his ruthless ambition. He united people and inspired a revolution that went beyond the borders of China.
My motto: Work your ass off and savor every moment in life
