Jackie Chan

“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.”

“I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.”

“I hate violence, yes I do. It's kind of a dilemma, huh?.”

“My schedule goes: wake up, running, exercise, downstairs, running shoes off, then to the shower. That's the Jackie Chan diary.”

“I want to play a fireman and a spy. I want to learn special effects.”

“The movie business is a big gamble.”

“I just make good movies. That's the way I thank my fans.”

“We learn martial arts as helping weakness. You never fight for people to get hurt. You're always helping people.”

“Most of the time, I'm not even working; I'm just helping people, because I feel that I am too lucky.”

“If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic.”

“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?'.”

“A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt, 'Jackie, are you scared?' Of course I'm scared. I'm not Superman.”

“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.”

“Jackie Chan is a myth.”

“Anyone can be a Superman, but nobody can be Jackie Chan.”

“Why did I become Jackie Chan? Mostly because I work very hard. When people were sleeping, I was still training.”

“Sometimes I do need to go to karaoke, sometimes I need to relax.”

“I've seen too many ups and downs in the movie industry.”

“I love wushu a lot and I would love to see it included in future Olympic Games.”

“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.”
