When you are learning about a martial art, it is about respect.
Jackie Chan, born Chan Kong-sang, is a Hong Kong martial artist, actor and filmmaker known for his slapstick, acrobatic fighting style, comic timing and inventive stunts, which he usually performs himself. With a film career spanning seven decades, he is regarded as one of the most iconic and influential martial artists in the history of cinema, and his films have grossed over $6 billion worldwide.
He began as one of the Seven Little Fortunes at the China Drama Academy, where he trained in acrobatics, martial arts and acting, and he entered the Hong Kong film industry as a stuntman before moving into acting. His breakthrough came with the action comedy Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, followed by Drunken Master and The Young Master. He made his directing debut with The Fearless Hyena.

You cannot mix sports with politics.
Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.
I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.
When I got depressed, I watched Bruce Lee movies. I learned everything from Bruce Lee.
Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.
Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.
Olympics for me is love, peace, united.
Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.
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.
