I'm very pessimistic about that, no matter how hard we may try. The Chinese market is huge, but out of last year's $2 billion box office, $1.8 billion was taken in by foreign movies, and just $200 million by our own movies, no matter how much we have learned of their techniques, or their good practices. The Hollywood movies imported into China are all good movies; does the U.S. make lousy movies? Yes, too many lousy movies, but the imports are good films, so how can they not be box office hits? They're all hits.

I thought I should forget Hollywood and go back to Hong Kong. I'm so lucky that finally Hollywood accepts my comedy fighting.

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

I only want my work to make people happy.

When I was young I didn't care about education, just money and box office.

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

American movies show you how to fight and break armsand necks. I want to make the action in my movies like dancing.
