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.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

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