Actor's life is very long.

Olympics for me is love, peace, united.

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
Image
I really like to be by myself and if I do go out to look around, I dress in jeans. My secretary is constantly telling me to dress up, shave and look your best because people know you. That bothers me. I just want to be natural.

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.

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.

I now have two different audiences. There's the one that has been watching my action films for 20 years, and the American family audience. American jokes, less fighting.

I've been preparing [Chinese Zodiac] for seven years, spent seven years on writing the script, spent over a year on filming it.

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.'

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.

I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan
Image
When I work I do it from my heart. And my heart is that I bring love to the world. When I travel around the world I bring my love. I bring so much love in my heart. I hope you can feel that.

I really hope someday in Hollywood, some producer or director will hire me only to do drama.

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.

Sometimes it takes only one act of kindness and caring to change a person's life.

American movies show you how to fight and break armsand necks. I want to make the action in my movies like dancing.
