Man, I loved this quote when I saw it the first time. There was a documentary on Lee that showed him doing that whole "if you put water into a teapot it becomes the teapot... be water, my friends" thing and his whole philosophy came into focus for me. (I also recommend the Special Edition "Enter the Dragon" DVD -- that movie is so awesome).
Here's a link to the Carson clip, and watch how Johnny just kind of smiles and nods like he has no idea what this kung fu dude is talking about
