Coffee is a language in itself.

Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.

I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.

Before I do a stunt, I have to make sure it is safe.

Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.

Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.

I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid.

Anyone can be a Superman, but nobody can be Jackie Chan.

I do small things. I try to do good things every day.

I just want people to remember me like I remember Buster Keaton. When they talk about Buster Keaton or Gene Kelly, people say, 'Ah yes, they good.' Maybe one day, they remember Jackie Chan that way.

Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.

The ads all call me fearless, but that's just publicity. Anyone who thinks I'm not scared out of my mind whenever I do one of my stunts is crazier than I am.

I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not. I'm really confused now.

Now I am older, I understand we have to accept who we are.

More understand China, then more people will have interest in China and more people will come to China to visit us because I am a tourist ambassador.

I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.

Speaking English is like tongue-twist for me. I can speak each word perfect, but then you have to string them together like, 'Blah, blah, blah.' That's when I get crazy.

Sometimes I'd like to play the bad guy and sometimes I'd like to die in a movie.

I want to be in 'Avatar'. I want somebody to hire me to be Superman, a Chinese Superman or Spider-Man.

As a father, I always want my son to be perfect. When he was young, I tried to train him in martial arts, but he said, 'I don't want to become like Bruce Lee's son, with everybody telling me how good my father was.' I just think my son is too lazy.

My wish is to bring my heroes to the big screen, and many of them have already appeared in my films.

For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies.

I hate interviews - but you have to do them.

If everyone does some good, think of what a good world this will be.

It is totally different making films in the East than in the West. In the East, I make my own Jackie Chan films, and it's like my family. Sometimes I pick up the camera because I choreograph all the fighting scenes, even when I'm not fighting. I don't have my own chair. I just sit on the set with everybody.

American stuntmen are smart - they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance... But in Hong Kong, we don't know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you've got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.

I now have two different audiences. There's the one that has been watching my action films for 20 years, and the American family audience. American jokes, less fighting.

When I got depressed, I watched Bruce Lee movies. I learned everything from Bruce Lee.

I really hope someday in Hollywood, some producer or director will hire me only to do drama.

My schedule goes: wake up, running, exercise, downstairs, running shoes off, then to the shower. That's the Jackie Chan diary.

I've choreographed all of my movies.

My affection for Taiwan... is witnessed by everyone. My wife is Taiwanese and I am a son-in-law of Taiwan. I am half Taiwanese.

I'm not a god - I do bad things.

If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic.

I like to change characters and then, slowly I believe the audience treat me as, like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star.

I have a metal plate in my head, and can pop my shoulder and pop it back.

Jackie Chan is a myth.

In every movie I do have a dialogue.

I loved cowboy movies when I was a kid. When I was five years old, I was already wearing a cowboy hat and suit. When I grew up, I knew John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Kirk Douglas and so on.

When I give somebody something and see their face, it just makes me so happy.

You cannot mix sports with politics.

I sometimes just don't like to see the Ultimate Fighting. I just find it, as a martial artist, I just find it too violent.

The life of an action star is very short. I want to be an actor like Robert De Niro, like Dustin Hoffman or Clint Eastwood who in their 70s or 80s can still act.

Olympics for me is love, peace, united.

I hate violence, yes I do. It's kind of a dilemma, huh?.

I know I have a responsibility to the fans.

I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.

We learn martial arts as helping weakness. You never fight for people to get hurt. You're always helping people.

I just make good movies. That's the way I thank my fans.

I've seen too many ups and downs in the movie industry.
