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

I’m crazy, but I’m not stupid.

Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.

Don’t try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.

Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.

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.

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.

Your smile is an art no one should ever get hold of.

Her face was art and her body was poetry in a short black dress.

If creativity calls, you answer. Otherwise, the words are lost to you forever.

Muses are born from a soul that is aching but I would sacrifice the most beautiful art if I could stop one heart from breaking.

Loneliness is an art shaped by self-love.

Her veins are filled with the ink that writes onto the paper of her life and canvas.

I imagine poetry to be a living entity in me.

Friendships that die are like a lost art.
