Jackie Chan Quotes:
  • About romantic scenes which have been something of a thorny issue for him: “I always have a girlfriend but no kissing – that's a Jackie Chan movie. But things are changing slowly. My fans are growing up with me. I'm an adult, and now slowly we have a love scene in my movies. Now, if they write a love scene, it's OK with me. But writers have got used to not writing a love scene for me. Even in America, the screenwriters see my movies and say, ‘No love scene’. And if there is one, the studio cuts it!"
  • "Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie.... Study computers instead."
  • "I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid."
  • Success formula: "The formula is simple. The more terrified my friends and family are, the more satisfied my fans will be. And they mean everything to me. They come to the theaters hungry for a hero, for someone who can laugh at disaster, who can make funny faces at death. Someone who can show them for real that the only thing to fear is fear itself"
  • Don’t try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie... Study computers instead.”
