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'm good for some things, bad for a lot of things.
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.
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.
Since the child knew his parents would give in, he tried the same trick again and again.
You cannot mix sports with politics.
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.
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!'
Sometimes, I'm very embarrassed.
May we all co-operate and join this war on pirates,
The authorities should stipulate what issues people can protest over and on what issues it is not allowed.
I hope next time when we meet, we won't be fighting each other. Instead we will be drinking tea together.
You don't need a reason to be nice to someone.
I think as a celebrity, we have to teach the young generation how to speak with the old generation.
