“I’m crazy, but I’m not stupid.”

Sometimes I do need to go to karaoke, sometimes I need to relax.

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.

When I was a young stunt guy the director would say: “You’re useless” But I wanted to be the best, I wanted to be a super stunt guy. That’s how I built myself, because of martial arts and everything.

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

I’m tired of fighting. I’ve always known that I can’t be an action star all my life.

I allowed myself to be bullied because I was scared and didn’t know how to defend myself. I was bullied until I prevented a new student from being bullied. By standing up for him, I learned to stand up for myself.

Why did I become Jackie Chan? Mostly because I work very hard. When people were sleeping, I was still training.

When you are learning about a martial art, it is about respect.

I want to show audiences I can act.

Martial arts is for defense. It’s not for attacking. So when people are fighting, always, always, defend.

The movie business is a big gamble.

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 interviews – but you have to do them.

I’m gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we’re not being controlled, we’ll just do what we want.

Being still and doing nothing are two completely different things.

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.

Looks like what drives me crazy Don’t have no effect on you– But I’m gonna keep on at it Till it drives you crazy, too.

Like thousands of other boys, I had a little chemical laboratory in our cellar and think that some of our friends thought me a bit crazy.

Crazy isn’t being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me, amplified.

You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

You have to be a freak in order to be different.

I’m crazy for being the one who tries to fix the broken in you.

We are all born crazy. Some remain that way.

I like the crazy ones- the ones made of a little bit of human and a lot of star.
