I want to build up my philosophy... my philosophy with kung fu is to respect people.

Some people call Police Story the greatest action film of all time, and while I have to be humble and say that I disagree, it's definitely the favorite action film I've ever made.

Pain is my daily routine. As long as I don't go to the hospital, it's nothing for me.

Even during the promotion I told people that I didn't like Rush Hour. The jokes I didn't understand and the fighting, compared to my Hong Kong films was terrible. A lot of people didn't like it. But mostly people did like it, they really liked it. Rush Hour really brought me to the American family audience.

I hope next time when we meet, we won't be fighting each other. Instead we will be drinking tea together.

Jackie Chan is a myth.

Bruce Lee brought the martial arts movie to the attention of the world - and without him, I don't think that anyone would have ever heard of Jackie Chan.
