Quotes

Shannon Lee

  • [Concerning the Lee Family Curse Allegations or Conspiracy Theories] I shrug that stuff off. I don't believe in it and find it to be good fodder for folks looking to gossip or ruminate on creepy stories. If I really felt cursed, I would probably be afraid to live my life, and life is meant to be lived.
  • Death has been a very valuable teacher for me. It's taught me to live. When someone you love dies, you're faced with the notion of mortality and you are forced to learn how to let go. Because if you attempt to hold on too tightly, it will destroy your life. It's a hard lesson and it takes a long time to get there. But eventually you get there.
  • I'm definitely the lazy one in my family. I used to ask my mom if Dad ever, like, vegged out on the couch watching TV or anything. She said 'no', that both he and Brandon were far more active.
  • [on dealing with her brother's death in 1993]: I was struggling and in a lot of pain. In my mind, I kept saying over and over to myself in a silent loop: 'I can't feel like this. I can't live like this. This is too much. How do I make it stop?'
  • [on cinematographer Hayla Hutchins death on 'Rust' set as compared to her brother's death on 'The Crow' set]: The circumstances are very similar, It really just makes you go, why is making a movie more important than a person's life?
  • [on her bit part in a party scene in her father's biopic film, 'Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story']: It was sort of sweet, actually, because in that scene, my mum tells my dad that she's pregnant with me.
  • [on the theories of her father's death] When I was a kid, sometimes I would find it annoying when people would say he was killed by ninjas or the 'death touch' (a martial arts technique) or rival gangs. But now I look at it and go: he was a warrior and nobody thinks that someone like that should just pass.
  • [on ‘The Crow’ sequels and 2024 remake]: I feel like nobody will ever replace my brother in that role. He embodied that character beautifully. No one likes to see someone’s legacy brushed over by something else. It’s a beloved character so I understand why they continue to make it. But I think my brother’s performance will always stand.
