“Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.”

When I was young I trained a lot. I trained my mind, I trained my eyes, trained my thinking, how to help people. And it trained me how to deal with pressure.

Honestly, every movie I do in America, the only challenge for me is English. I’ve done everything already, for me it’s pretty easy. Only the English.

The best fights are the ones we avoid.

Everyone is saying that I’m retiring, but I want to solemnly declare, that I don’t want to retire, I just want to do things a bit less dangerous to my body, less dangerous action.

In my view, Zhang Lanxin is one of our best female martial artists, and I can’t rate her highly enough.

My dream is to continue filming until my body tells me to stop.

Olympics for me is love, peace, united.

Martial arts is not for hurting people, it’s for protecting people.

I really hope someday in Hollywood, some producer or director will hire me only to do drama.

Pain is my daily routine. As long as I don’t go to the hospital, it’s nothing for me.

Speaking English is like tongue-twist for me. I can speak each word perfect, but then you have to string them together like, ‘Blah, blah, blah.’ That’s when I get crazy.

When life knocks you down, you can choose to get back up.

As one tale ends, so another begins.

Bruce Lee brought the martial arts movie to the attention of the world – and without him, I don’t think that anyone would have ever heard of Jackie Chan.

We live now in a global village and we are in one single family. It’s our responsibility to bring friendship and love from all different places around the world and to live together in peace.

If one does not attach himself to people and desires, never shall his heart be broken. But then, does he ever truly live?

The most powerful natural species are those that adapt to environmental change without losing their fundamental identity which gives them their competitive advantage.

You must always be evolving and able to adapt and overcome any and all obstacles!

It is not the biggest, the brightest or the best that will survive, but those who adapt the quickest.

Life, it turns out, is infinitely more clever and adaptable than anyone had ever supposed.

In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

There can be no life without change, and to be afraid of what is different or unfamiliar is to be afraid of life.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.
