“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.”

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.
