I just want people to remember me like I remember Buster Keaton. When they talk about Buster Keaton or Gene Kelly, people say, 'Ah yes, they good.' Maybe one day, they remember Jackie Chan that way.
Sometimes I'd like to play the bad guy and sometimes I'd like to die in a movie.
Since the child knew his parents would give in, he tried the same trick again and again.
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'm tired of fighting. I've always known that I can't be an action star all my life.
Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.
Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.
I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.
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 never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.
For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies.
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.
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.
I hate violence, yes I do. It's kind of a dilemma, huh?.
A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt, 'Jackie, are you scared?' Of course I'm scared. I'm not Superman.
