Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.
My wish is to bring my heroes to the big screen, and many of them have already appeared in my films.
The movie business is a big gamble.
Sometimes I'd like to play the bad guy and sometimes I'd like to die in a movie.
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 hate violence, yes I do. It's kind of a dilemma, huh?.
I really like to be by myself and if I do go out to look around, I dress in jeans. My secretary is constantly telling me to dress up, shave and look your best because people know you. That bothers me. I just want to be natural.
I'm tired of fighting. I've always known that I can't be an action star all my life.
I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not. I'm really confused now.
Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.
I thought I should forget Hollywood and go back to Hong Kong. I'm so lucky that finally Hollywood accepts my comedy fighting.
When I came to Hollywood, I spoke no English - except nobody bullied me. Every day, I had nothing to do except training in English, to keep talking.
I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.
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.
