I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.
Sometimes it takes only one act of kindness and caring to change a person's life.
I allowed myself to be bullied because I was scared and didn't know how to defend myself. I was bullied until I prevented a new student from being bullied. By standing up for him, I learned to stand up for myself.
The best fights are the ones we avoid.
Anyone can be a Superman, but nobody can be Jackie Chan.
Why did I become Jackie Chan? Mostly because I work very hard. When people were sleeping, I was still training.
Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.
I am really, really tired.
Being still and doing nothing are two completely different things
Every time I make an American film I just trust the American director and American writer. Myself, I would never make this kind of film. For me, those kinds of films are ridiculous. They don't make sense.
When I'm in meetings until 5am and then have to get up two hours later for filming, sometimes I ask myself 'why?'
I'm not a god - I do bad things.
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 feel that there are a few things in the world without cultural barriers.
