More quotes by Jackie Chan
I really hope someday in Hollywood, some producer or director will hire me only to do drama.
Jackie Chan
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.
Jackie Chan
Life will knock us down, but we can choose whether or not to stand back up.
Jackie Chan
American stuntmen are smart - they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance... But in Hong Kong, we don't know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you've got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.
Jackie Chan
I'm sure that Zhang Lanxin could be an outstanding action movie actress. For one thing, she wouldn't require a stand-in. As for Yao Xingtong, she might be an excellent action performer in her next life.
Jackie Chan
When I look at young kids today I just don't believe it, parents take away the Gameboy and they're suicidal. They cannot take the pressure.
Jackie Chan
I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.
Jackie Chan
China produces 600 movies in a year, of which 3 or 4 go abroad, while of the several hundred they make, we only bring in 50. It's 50 now, but that could be expanded later on.
Jackie Chan
Coffee is a language in itself.
Jackie Chan
Before I do a stunt, I have to make sure it is safe.
Jackie Chan
I want to be in 'Avatar'. I want somebody to hire me to be Superman, a Chinese Superman or Spider-Man.
Jackie Chan
The children right now, the young children, everybody should go to a martial arts school. Why? Because as soon as they go to a martial arts school, they learn discipline.
Jackie Chan
Sometimes I do need to go to karaoke, sometimes I need to relax.
Jackie Chan
Nothing makes me more determined to succeed than someone telling me something's impossible.
Jackie Chan
When I'm in meetings until 5am and then have to get up two hours later for filming, sometimes I ask myself 'why?'
Jackie Chan
Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.
Jackie Chan
When I came to Hollywood, I spoke no English - except nobody bullied me. Every day, I had nothing to do except training in English, to keep talking.
Jackie Chan
Olympics for me is love, peace, united.
Jackie Chan
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.
Jackie Chan
The action star's life is very short. Back in Asia, I can do whatever I want to do. I'm the producer, I'm the director, I can do so many things, but in Hollywood any time I present a script they say: No, no, no, Rush Hour 3, Rush Hour 4.
