More quotes by Jackie Chan
Coffee is a language in itself.
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
I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.
Jackie Chan
I sometimes just don't like to see the Ultimate Fighting. I just find it, as a martial artist, I just find it too violent.
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
The best fights are the ones we avoid.
Jackie Chan
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.
Jackie Chan
Very difficult to understand American audience, what they like, what they don't like. Some movie I like very much, it doesn't work. Some movie I don't like, it gets big box office. Very difficult.
Jackie Chan
I want to really stress this, I am a director, an actor, producer, action choreographer, and I'm also an investor.
Jackie Chan
I've seen too many ups and downs in the movie industry.
Jackie Chan
Why did I become Jackie Chan? Mostly because I work very hard. When people were sleeping, I was still training.
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.
Jackie Chan
Olympics for me is love, peace, united.
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.
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
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.
Jackie Chan
The movie business is a big gamble.
Jackie Chan
I want to show audiences I can act.
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
I'm tired of fighting. I've always known that I can't be an action star all my life.
