“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.

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

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?

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.

And music the best friend of your mind.

You put all the other stuff aside and go out and do your job, and mine is to be the best I can be for my teammates.

It doesn’t matter what I think. It doesn’t matter what other people think. You have to get on the ice and participate and play and the best team wins.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

I think sometimes in life the biggest challenges end up being the best things that happen in your life.

The best way to create emotional or spiritual distance between me and another person is for them to come up to me and go, ‘yaassssss.’

My best friend had a hockey scholarship at Ohio State, so I would get a couple of pairs at the beginning of the season and send them down to him. They practised two hours a day. He’d skate in them for three weeks then ship them back.

I sincerely believe that Indians have the ability to compete with the best in the world.
