Jackie Chan

Why did I become Jackie Chan? Mostly because I work very hard. When people were sleeping, I was still training.

I want to show audiences I can act.

I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
