When you are learning about a martial art, it is about respect.Collection: Learning
American stuntmen are smart - they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance... But in Hong Kong, we don't know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you've got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.Collection: Car

I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film.
I want to play a fireman and a spy. I want to learn special effects.
When I'm making an American film, it's more safe because there are so many people on the set to watch me. Whatever I do, they say, 'What are you doing!? Tell me first!' There are so many restrictions.
I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not. I'm really confused now.
I now have two different audiences. There's the one that has been watching my action films for 20 years, and the American family audience. American jokes, less fighting.
I'm tired of fighting. I've always known that I can't be an action star all my life.
I really hope someday in Hollywood, some producer or director will hire me only to do drama.
Besides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society.
I want to be in 'Avatar'. I want somebody to hire me to be Superman, a Chinese Superman or Spider-Man.
I make American films for American audiences and Asian films for Asian audiences.
I don't want to be an action star; action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.
I play a nobody in Japan.
I've seen too many ups and downs in the movie industry.
My wish is to bring my heroes to the big screen, and many of them have already appeared in my films.
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.
When I'm in meetings until 5am and then have to get up two hours later for filming, sometimes I ask myself 'why?'
I want to try something different in Hollywood, to tell the audience I am not just an actor star - I am an actor, too.
I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.
I think the family movie is very important to everybody right now.
One day, I want to make a PG film.
Every country when they have Olympics, a lot of people come out opposed.
More understand China, then more people will have interest in China and more people will come to China to visit us because I am a tourist ambassador.
A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt, 'Jackie, are you scared?' Of course I'm scared. I'm not Superman.
I feel that there are a few things in the world without cultural barriers.
The life of an action star is very short. I want to be an actor like Robert De Niro, like Dustin Hoffman or Clint Eastwood who in their 70s or 80s can still act.
I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.
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.
Sometimes I'd like to play the bad guy and sometimes I'd like to die in a movie.
I want to show audiences I can act.
Of course I get hurt.
I know I have a responsibility to the fans.
In America there's no way I can make the kind of movie I like to make.
Before I do a stunt, I have to make sure it is safe.
Being a stunt coordinator, I have to take care not only of myself but I have to make sure everyone is safe.
I've choreographed all of my movies.
I like to change characters and then, slowly I believe the audience treat me as, like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star.
I give the children education.
