I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.
I just couldn't stop thinking about what landmines are doing to people here. I told people - my friends - about it, but it was just not enough. I knew I had to do more.
When I go out, people look at me with a puzzled expression on their faces thinking, "You're Jackie Chan?" When people stare at me, it makes me uncomfortable. More and more I find that I just stay in my hotel when I am working.
I think the family movie is very important to everybody right now.
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.
I think as a celebrity, we have to teach the young generation how to speak with the old generation.
Sometimes you think the movie is good and BOOM! Sometimes you think it's no good. BAAM! The movie business is a big gamble. You never know.
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.
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.
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.
There was a lot of criticism on the Internet saying that the Oscar results were unfair.
Breathing hurts. ... It hurts to draw my fist. It's been hard filming fight scenes these past two days.
I've let my family down, but I'm very lucky. My wife has forgiven me. ... She's supported me all these years, she will do so now.
Today when our actors go to the U.S., what movies can they make? Can they appear in 'Titanic'? Could they do 'Kramer vs. Kramer'? No. No actor could do it,
