“In my view, Zhang Lanxin is one of our best female martial artists, and I can’t rate her highly enough.”

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.

I’m good for some things, bad for a lot of things.

It only hurts when I’m not laughing.

The children right now, the young children, everybody should go to a martial arts school. Why? Because as soon as they go to a martial arts school, they learn discipline.

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.

Progress however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.

The best method is to experiment and enjoy the process.

Do your best but don’t get lost in the process.

Work is one of the best educators of practical character.

No mortal man has ever served at the same time his passions and his best interests.

Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.

You can only be your best self. When I initially got on the air, I would look around me and watch people that I thought were really good and try to be like they were.

Have faith in God and in yourself; that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.
