I only want my work to make people happy.

I don't want to be an action star; action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.

I make American films for American audiences and Asian films for Asian audiences.

Of course I get hurt.

Being a stunt coordinator, I have to take care not only of myself but I have to make sure everyone is safe.

Besides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society.

Every country when they have Olympics, a lot of people come out opposed.

A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt, 'Jackie, are you scared?' Of course I'm scared. I'm not Superman.

Very difficult to understand American audience, what they like, what they don't like. Some movie I like very much, it doesn't work. Some movie I don't like, it gets big box office. Very difficult.

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

Since the child knew his parents would give in, he tried the same trick again and again.

After all those years in Asia, I don't have to do promotion anymore. We just release a Jackie Chan movie and - Boom! - people go.

In the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me 'Jackie Who?'.

I'm tired of fighting. I've always known that I can't be an action star all my life.

I don't want to be an action star, an action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.

The world is too violent right now.

I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.

Actor's life is very long.

I want to show audiences I can act.

In America there's no way I can make the kind of movie I like to make.

When I'm making an American film, it's more safe because there are so many people on the set to watch me. Whatever I do, they say, 'What are you doing!? Tell me first!' There are so many restrictions.

I think the family movie is very important to everybody right now.

One day, I want to make a PG film.

I really like children to watch my movies.

I give the children education.

Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.

Sometimes, I'm very embarrassed.

I love wushu a lot and I would love to see it included in future Olympic Games.

The kids never listen to you, especially the youngest ones.

In the real world, children love me.

Money for me today does not really matter.

I've got a very interesting background.

I feel that there are a few things in the world without cultural barriers.

I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.

If there really is a god, then he really looks after me.

Sometimes I do need to go to karaoke, sometimes I need to relax.

I'm afraid to fail again.

The movie business is a big gamble.

When I'm in meetings until 5am and then have to get up two hours later for filming, sometimes I ask myself 'why?'

I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film.

I love to clean.

I like to give back.

My dream is to continue filming until my body tells me to stop.

I play a nobody in Japan.

I went by myself to Hollywood, I spoke no English, every day I had to go to school.

When I was young I didn't care about education, just money and box office.

When you are learning about a martial art, it is about respect.

When I make a film - I direct my own film, I write my own script - that's what I want to hear from the audience. 'Oh, thank you, Jackie!'

Most of the time, I'm not even working; I'm just helping people, because I feel that I am too lucky.

I want to try something different in Hollywood, to tell the audience I am not just an actor star - I am an actor, too.
