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.

I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.

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 decided to set out to prove that you could make a reasonable living building for the poor using recycled materials and only hiring unskilled labor.
