“When I look at young kids today I just don’t believe it, parents take away the Gameboy and they’re suicidal. They cannot take the pressure.”

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.

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.
