Zitat des Tages von Jackie Chan:
Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.
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.
I only want my work to make people happy.
Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.
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.
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.
In every movie I do have a dialogue.
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.
Since the child knew his parents would give in, he tried the same trick again and again.
If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic.
The world is too violent right now.
I hate interviews - but you have to do them.
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.
Every country when they have Olympics, a lot of people come out opposed.
I really hope someday in Hollywood, some producer or director will hire me only to do drama.
Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.
I'm crazy, but I'm not too crazy.
Now I am older, I understand we have to accept who we are.
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.
Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.
I hate violence, yes I do. It's kind of a dilemma, huh?.
I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.
Being a stunt coordinator, I have to take care not only of myself but I have to make sure everyone is safe.
In America there's no way I can make the kind of movie I like to make.
I feel that there are a few things in the world without cultural barriers.
I want to play a fireman and a spy. I want to learn special effects.
After all those years in Asia, I don't have to do promotion anymore. We just release a Jackie Chan movie and - Boom! - people go.
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.
In the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me 'Jackie Who?'.
I love wushu a lot and I would love to see it included in future Olympic Games.
I really like children to watch my movies.
We learn martial arts as helping weakness. You never fight for people to get hurt. You're always helping people.
I'm tired of fighting. I've always known that I can't be an action star all my life.
Anyone can be a Superman, but nobody can be Jackie Chan.
I want to try something different in Hollywood, to tell the audience I am not just an actor star - I am an actor, too.
I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid.
