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.

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.

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.

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.

It doesn’t matter what blood or race or creed or color. Love is love and it breaks all boundaries and you just see it right away.

Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.

My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we’re blood.

Liberty and democracy become unholy when their hands are dyed red with innocent blood.

In the house of poetry nothing endures that is not written with blood to be heard with blood.

What is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the blood and treasure of the human race?

Never take your eyes off the cash flow because it’s the life blood of business.
