I know that eventually, I'll have to change my life and my career, but I've got a lot of good years left in me yet.

Every time I make an American film I just trust the American director and American writer. Myself, I would never make this kind of film. For me, those kinds of films are ridiculous. They don't make sense.

When I go out, people look at me with a puzzled expression on their faces thinking, "You're Jackie Chan?". When people stare at me, it makes me uncomfortable. More and more I find that I just stay in my hotel when I am working.

The action star's life is very short. Back in Asia, I can do whatever I want to do. I'm the producer, I'm the director, I can do so many things, but in Hollywood any time I present a script they say: "No, no, no, Rush Hour 3, Rush Hour 4."

I've been preparing [Chinese Zodiac] for seven years, spent seven years on writing the script, spent over a year on filming it.

I think as a celebrity, we have to teach the young generation how to speak with the old generation.

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