In every movie I do have a dialogue.

It is totally different making films in the East than in the West. In the East, I make my own Jackie Chan films, and it's like my family. Sometimes I pick up the camera because I choreograph all the fighting scenes, even when I'm not fighting. I don't have my own chair. I just sit on the set with everybody.

I sometimes just don't like to see the Ultimate Fighting. I just find it, as a martial artist, I just find it too violent.

One thing we haven't mentioned is something everyone should understand very clearly. Look at the budget that was invested in 'Avatar': who in China has that kind of money to spend on making a movie? So we as Chinese filmmakers should work together to make Chinese movies that can compete as best we can for Chinese audiences, not make lousy movies, but make the best we can for that audience. Concentrate the money, the talent we have on making good movies [for China].

Martial arts is not for hurting people, it's for protecting people.

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

Nothing makes me more determined to succeed than someone telling me something's impossible.
