I remember when I was 11, I did some Kung-fu demonstrations in Hong Kong in 1974.

If you are always allowed to stop training whenever you feel discomfort, you will find it too easy to give yourself permission to quit.

I can feel very brave through all the action scenes in front of the people who are on the set, but when a girl comes close to me my face turns red because I'm so shy.

In acting you do a lot of research. Audience watch Jet Li because of the fight. They watch other actors because they are funny. If they want funny, they don't want to see Jet Li, they watch the other guy. That's the reality I face, until the one day I can prove I can make film without action that is a fun movie. Then everybody will say Jet Li, hmmm.

I am so happy because I want more people to like martial arts movie not just martial arts audience. Even martial arts can be used in comedy, in drama, in horror movies, in different kinds of movies.

Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art.

Failure is a fuel for excuses.
