He wants final editing rights and the final look at the movie and so on,
When I am making a film, I know what to do in front of a camera. What frightens me are the scenes with dialogue. Sometime they really want me to speak perfectly and I don't like that.
Acting keeps me young! I love that the fans like this kind of action and as long as they want me I'll continue to do it.
American movies show you how to fight and break armsand necks. I want to make the action in my movies like dancing.
I want to show audiences I can act.
The life of an action star is very short. I want to be an actor like Robert De Niro , like Dustin Hoffman or Clint Eastwood who in their 70s or 80s can still act.
When I make a film - I direct my own film, I write my own script - that's what I want to hear from the audience. 'Oh, thank you, Jackie!'
Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.
I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.
I want to build up my philosophy... my philosophy with kung fu is to respect people.
I am the Olympic Ambassador. I always promote Olympics. I just want to say, Olympics is Olympics. [You] cannot mix with politics. Olympics for me is love, peace, [being] united.
If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.
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 only want my work to make people happy.
