“I only want my work to make people happy.”

Kung fu lives in everything we do. It lives in how we put on a jacket and how we take off a jacket. It lives in how we treat people. Everything is kung fu.

You don’t need a reason to be nice to someone.

I’m crazy, but I’m not stupid.

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

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

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

I do small things. I try to do good things every day. If everyone does some good, think of what a good world this will be.

Besides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society.

I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.

Coffee is a language in itself.

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.

I think every young child can learn through any martial art. They would then learn to respect their life, respect their parents, respect their country, and respect the whole world.

Nothing makes me more determined to succeed than someone telling me something’s impossible.

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.

A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt, ‘Jackie, are you scared?’ Of course I’m scared. I’m not Superman.

Money for me today does not really matter.

True happines is not attained through self gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

Earning happiness means doing good and working, not speculating and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction.

Do anything, but let it produce joy.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

The very purpose of our life is to seek happiness.

I feel like it’s impossible to please the hardcore comic book fans, because they’ll never be happy no matter what you do.

A drunken man is happier than a sober one.

Be Yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search, or struggle. Just Be.
