Zitat des Tages von Jet Li:
When I lived in Hong Kong, I felt that Hong Kong is my family.
I've been learning martial arts since I was 8 years old.
Hong Kong film audiences are very quiet. It's their culture.
I spend more time learning about Buddhism than English, which is why my English today is still bad.
Everywhere I go, I still have time to meditate. People think meditating is sitting there, nobody bothering you, but you can even talk and still meditate.
I need to talk about Chinese culture. We have deep, strong philosophy and culture. I want to share some information, tell the worldwide audience.
I can watch CNN on television or the Internet to find out what happened in Hong Kong ten minutes ago. After all, it doesn't matter where something is made, we're all part of the same big family now.
Hero shows you how to solve the problem - yourself.
Zhang Yimou is one of the best directors on mainland China.
Every President that went to China, I would meet them and have dinner and talk about the past and the future. That was in the '70s.
Zhang is a friend of mine: he said forget about acting and just do normal things in the movie.
Zhang Yimou is an artist. Sometimes we did only two or three shots a day because we were waiting for the sun.
Bruce Lee was very famous. I watched his movies and he is amazing. He is a martial arts master, his philosophy, his movement, both physically and mentally, were very strong.
People would come to me and say, 'Jet, your Kung Fu is pretty good, do you want to be an action star when you grow up?' At 17, I was given the script and I went to make the movie.
Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope.
I want to thank my mum, my daddy, my coach, my teacher, everybody in my life.
I think 'Hero' is not a real martial arts movie; it is not about violence, or formula.
This film 'Hero' talks about the peace of Chinese people.
Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art.
A weapon isn't good or bad, depends on the person who uses it.
I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.
Love is more powerful than kicking ass.
You can use martial arts to tell a different story. Ang Lee used martial arts in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' to talk about love.
And lot of Asian audiences and reporters don't like me to act as a bad guy. But I think I want to become an actor, I want to try different way.
I do some of my stunts for the things I have learned. But if it is for something I have never learned, then I use a double.
You can beat me up, but don't touch my hair, I will kill you!
I stepped into the martial arts movie market when I was only 16.
I think Ang Lee is a very, very talented director. He used martial arts to talk about love and girl, you know... But Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts film to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope the world will become.
I can feel very brave through all the action scenes in front of the people who are on the set, but when a girl comes close to me my face turns red because I'm so shy.
I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.
Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. He does one kind of martial arts that Jet Li doesn't know how to do and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesn't know how to do. You can both go to two Chinese restaurants, but both can have different kinds of food.
I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.
