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.

In every movie I do have a dialogue.

Jackie Chan is a myth.

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

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.

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

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

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've choreographed all of my movies.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I hate interviews - but you have to do them.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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