I hate interviews - but you have to do them.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

I've choreographed all of my movies.

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'm not a god - I do bad things.

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

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.

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

Jackie Chan is a myth.

In every movie I do have a dialogue.

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.

When I give somebody something and see their face, it just makes me so happy.

You cannot mix sports with politics.

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.

The life of an action star is very short. I want to be an actor like Robert De Niro, like Dustin Hoffman or Clint Eastwood who in their 70s or 80s can still act.

Olympics for me is love, peace, united.

I hate violence, yes I do. It's kind of a dilemma, huh?.

I know I have a responsibility to the fans.

I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.

We learn martial arts as helping weakness. You never fight for people to get hurt. You're always helping people.

I just make good movies. That's the way I thank my fans.

I've seen too many ups and downs in the movie industry.

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.
