When I was young I didn't care about education, just money and box office.
Martial arts is for defense. It's not for attacking. So when people are fighting, always, always, defend.
Pain is my daily routine. As long as I don't go to the hospital, it's nothing for me.
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.
I don't want to be an action star, an action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.
I do small things. I try to do good things every day.
Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.
After all those years in Asia, I don't have to do promotion anymore. We just release a Jackie Chan movie and - Boom! - people go.
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.
Sometimes I do need to go to karaoke, sometimes I need to relax.
Olympics for me is love, peace, united.
Before I do a stunt, I have to make sure it is safe.
I only want my work to make people happy.
I hate interviews - but you have to do them.
