I found a pretty good interview
Rotten Tomatoes: Can you describe your role in the movie? Can you describe your role in the movie?
Jet Li: I cannot say too much. If you know, it's not fun anymore.
RT: But you are playing a bad guy?
JL: It really depends on your point of view.
RT: Since the movie pits you against Jason [Statham], who do you think the audience will root for?
JL: I don't know. Ask them! (laughs)
RT: How is it working with Jason?
JL: We worked together before on "The One." But on this film, we haven't met yet because the two characters haven't been in the same scene. In maybe another two weeks we will work together a lot.
RT: You have worked with Corey Yuen for over a decade. What is it about him that made your relationship special?
JL: When you have a friend you work with for 15 years, you become like brothers.
RT: Why do you think of all the Asian actors, you and Jackie are the more successful?
JL: I should ask you (laughs). You know the American audience better than me, why they watch Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies. The audience makes the decision of what kind of actor they want to watch. I always have said in the last 20 years, the real boss is the audience.
RT: You said you no longer want to do epic martial art movies. Do you want to focus more on action or more on drama?
JL: I really want to retire. (laughs) I think "Fearless" is the last one. I won't do martial arts movies anymore. But in my mind, martial arts movies are martial arts movies and action is action. It's quite different, because martial arts doesn't just have physical form; you have a philosophy, internal and external. A lot of it involves your life. How you see the world. An action film I think is just about the movement. I think it's different.
RT: Why did you decide not to do any more martial arts movies, is it because you've done so many?
JL: I put a lot of energy into "Fearless." I've said what I wanted to say about martial arts in that film; why I learned martial arts, what is martial arts, martial arts in life.
RT: You've been talking about making "Monk In New York" for a while. What is the status on that?
JL: I'm still trying to make it, even with no studio involved. I talk about making a movie with a story about heart, without a lot of violent action in it. Not many studios want to make it. I'm still working on it.
RT: What kind of movies would you like to make in the future after "Rogue"?
JL: I really don't know. "Monk In New York" you already know about. I want to make that. I already found a director, Wayne Wang. He's a wonderful director, and I really appreciate his work. Two years already and we're still putting the pieces together."
