Jackie Chan Want Quotations

I only want my work to make people happy.

Besides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society.

I just want people to remember me like I remember Buster Keaton. When they talk about Buster Keaton or Gene Kelly, people say, 'Ah yes, they good.' Maybe one day, they remember Jackie Chan that way.

Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.

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 want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.

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 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.

I want to show audiences I can act.

When I make a film - I direct my own film, I write my own script - that's what I want to hear from the audience. 'Oh, thank you, Jackie!'

The action star's life is very short. Back in Asia, I can do whatever I want to do. I'm the producer, I'm the director, I can do so many things, but in Hollywood any time I present a script they say: "No, no, no, Rush Hour 3, Rush Hour 4."

If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.

I am the Olympic Ambassador. I always promote Olympics. I just want to say, Olympics is Olympics. [You] cannot mix with politics. Olympics for me is love, peace, [being] united.

I want to build up my philosophy... my philosophy with kung fu is to respect people.

American movies show you how to fight and break armsand necks. I want to make the action in my movies like dancing.

Acting keeps me young! I love that the fans like this kind of action and as long as they want me I'll continue to do it.

When I am making a film, I know what to do in front of a camera. What frightens me are the scenes with dialogue. Sometime they really want me to speak perfectly and I don't like that.
