For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies.

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.

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.

In America there's no way I can make the kind of movie I like to make.

I don't want to be an action star, an action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.

When you are learning about a martial art, it is about respect.

As one tale ends, so another begins.
