More understand China, then more people will have interest in China and more people will come to China to visit us because I am a tourist ambassador.

Now I am older, I understand we have to accept who we are.

I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not. I'm really confused now.

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.

Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.

I just want people to remember me like I remember Buster Keaton. When they talk about Buster Keaton or Gene Kelly, people say, 'Ah yes, they good.' Maybe one day, they remember Jackie Chan that way.

I do small things. I try to do good things every day.

Anyone can be a Superman, but nobody can be Jackie Chan.

I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid.

Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.

Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.

Before I do a stunt, I have to make sure it is safe.

I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.

Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.

Coffee is a language in itself.

When I read the script and saw the jazz music setting, and when I read the name of the filmmaker was Damien Chazelle, I immediately got this mental image of Antoine Fuqua.

I do respond well to a director, a teacher - someone who doesn't accept mediocrity.

Education is very important to me.

I come from a family of educators. My sister is a college teacher. My dad is a college teacher, but first a junior high teacher.

I like to stay home. I don't want to be away shooting in Europe for six or eight months at a stretch.

It's OK to turn down stuff that isn't really interesting and spend the summer with my family.

My aunt was so attuned to commercials that she could always identify the voiceover actor.

I'd always had the concern that being in commercials would affect my credibility when I was getting started as a TV and film actor.

The first thing I did that was at all in the public eye, other than on stage, was 'Oz,' in which I played the head of the Aryan Brotherhood in a maximum-security prison.
