More quotes by Jackie Chan
Why did I become Jackie Chan? Mostly because I work very hard. When people were sleeping, I was still training.
Jackie Chan
I make American films for American audiences and Asian films for Asian audiences.
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
It is totally different making films in the East than in the West. In the East, I make my own Jackie Chan films, and it's like my family. Sometimes I pick up the camera because I choreograph all the fighting scenes, even when I'm not fighting. I don't have my own chair. I just sit on the set with everybody.
Jackie Chan
My affection for Taiwan... is witnessed by everyone. My wife is Taiwanese and I am a son-in-law of Taiwan. I am half Taiwanese.
Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan is a myth.
Jackie Chan
I do small things. I try to do good things every day.
Jackie Chan
If one does not attach himself to people and desires, never shall his heart be broken. But then, does he ever truly live?
Jackie Chan
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.
Jackie Chan
May we all co-operate and join this war on pirates.
Jackie Chan
I'm tired of fighting. I've always known that I can't be an action star all my life.
Jackie Chan
For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies.
Jackie Chan
When I'm making an American film, it's more safe because there are so many people on the set to watch me. Whatever I do, they say, 'What are you doing!? Tell me first!' There are so many restrictions.
Jackie Chan
If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic.
Jackie Chan
Coffee is a language in itself.
Jackie Chan
I know that eventually, I'll have to change my life and my career, but I've got a lot of good years left in me yet.
Jackie Chan
Making a Hollywood film you don't have a very big movie because they have a Safety Captain and insurance people on the set. They have to check first. 'Don't do it. Let me check. Make sure everything is safe.'
Jackie Chan
Actually, the few good Chinese movies that foreign countries choose to import are Zhang Yimou's, and mine, a few directors, but how many movies can we make in a year? We can only make a few, while they turn them out continuously.
Jackie Chan
My skull, my eyes, my nose three times, my jaw, my shoulder, my chest, two fingers, a knee, everything from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. Listing what body parts he has broken
Jackie Chan
A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt, 'Jackie, are you scared?' Of course I'm scared. I'm not Superman.
