Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.

When I got depressed, I watched Bruce Lee movies. I learned everything from Bruce Lee.

When I was young I trained a lot. I trained my mind, I trained my eyes, trained my thinking, how to help people. And it trained me how to deal with pressure.

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."

When I was a young stunt guy the director would say: "You're useless..." But I wanted to be the best, I wanted to be a super stunt guy. That's how I built myself, because of martial arts and everything.

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

The best fights are the ones we avoid.
