Martial arts is for defense. It's not for attacking. So when people are fighting, always, always, defend.

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

Sometimes I'd like to play the bad guy and sometimes I'd like to die in a movie.

Most of the time I'm not even working, I'm just helping people, because I feel that I am too lucky. If there really is a god, then he really looks after me. All these years he's taken care of me, my career keeps getting better and better. Whatever I want just seems to come. And it keeps coming. So I promised myself that I have to pay for this, payback society. So this is why I started my Jackie Chan Foundation to help children and sick kids and people in hospitals.

When I'm in meetings until 5am and then have to get up two hours later for filming, sometimes I ask myself 'why?'

Everyone is saying that I'm retiring, but I want to solemnly declare, that I don't want to retire, I just want to do things a bit less dangerous to my body, less dangerous action.

I only want my work to make people happy.
