“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 want to really stress this, I am a director, an actor, producer, action choreographer, and I’m also an investor.

I want to make people laugh and I want to try to encourage world peace.

Sometimes it takes only one act of kindness and caring to change a person’s life.

Life will knock us down, but we can choose whether or not to stand back up.

Officials of governments that use or produce landmines should be forced to see the reality of how landmines hurt people and make them suffer, because this would surely make them stop.

In America there’s no way I can make the kind of movie I like to make.

The ads all call me fearless, but that’s just publicity. Anyone who thinks I’m not scared out of my mind whenever I do one of my stunts is crazier than I am.

Kung fu lives in everything we do. It lives in how we put on a jacket and how we take off a jacket. It lives in how we treat people. Everything is kung fu.

You don’t need a reason to be nice to someone.

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.

I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.

I’ve had mixtapes that have been better than albums I’ve heard from other artists. I take my time; I put my heart into it.

I never think about myself as an artist working in this time. I think about it in macro.

You don’t hear no artists from Compton showing vulnerability.

As an artist myself I don’t like to be preached. I want to enjoy myself, so I kind of use that perspective to make music.

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

I can’t say any artist inspired me, because I’m inspired by the things that go on around me.

I love, love, love just being hands on at all times in the studio.

Do not strive to be a modern artist: it’s the one thing, unfortunately, you can’t help being.
