[Linda Lee Cadwell, Bruce Lee's widow]:
"Bruce Lee's unique people, as individuals, as human beings, then as an actor or martial artist. He is very unique, I think this is what the people-he knew more than just an actor and martial artist."

"My father really worked very hard. He practiced for hours every day and push himself, is very ambitious and strive to be the best for all that he was trying to do."
