Quotes

  • On late husband Bruce Lee: "All these years later, people still wonder about the way he died. I prefer to remember the way he lived."
  • [on speaking to her son Brandon the night before he tragically died]: He was so happy that that night would be the last of the scenes that involved weapons. He was so looking forward to his next project, which was to be a film that did not include any martial arts. I felt so happy for him that he had reached his goal of being signed as a serious dramatic actor.
