“Sometimes it takes only one act of kindness and caring to change a person’s life.”

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.

No matter how much more I practice, my English will never be perfect. If it is really terrible, I’ll correct it, but otherwise, I do it my Jackie Chan way.

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

I hope next time when we meet, we won’t be fighting each other. Instead we will be drinking tea together.

We have to do what we can to help wherever and whenever it is possible for us to help.

Most of the time, I’m not even working; I’m just helping people, because I feel that I am too lucky.

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

If a man loses anything and goes back and looks carefully for it, he will find it.

The truth is that since childhood I had cultivated an existential independence. It came from perceiving the adults around me as unreliable, and without it I felt I wouldn’t have survived. I cared deeply for everyone in my family, but in the end I depended on myself.

Ignorance sheer ignorance. There is no confidence to equal it. It’s only when you know something about a profession that you are timid or careful.

Caring too much about what people think of you is useless. Most people don’t even know what they think of themselves.

I will happily sit at home and take care of the house.

I don’t think there’s a lot of carry-over from year to year. I don’t think anybody cares what you did the year before.

She’s both fragile and strong, so handle with care or she’ll kick your ass!

When attention is given to the spiritual aspect of one’s life, it brings a sense of belongingness, and responsibility, compassion and caring for the whole of humanity.
