- Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie.... Study computers instead.
- It's very important that I get hurt [when making a movie]
- I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid.
- I don't want to be an action star, action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to
- get longer.
- I have a few rules that I tell my manager: No sex scenes. No make love. The kids who like me don't need to
- see it. It would gross them out.
- "I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan".
- The ads all call me fearless, but that's just publicity. Anyone who thinks I'm not scared out of my mind
- Whenever I do one of my stunts is crazier than I am.
Apprenticed to the China Drama Academy (or "opera school") by his parents at the age of 6, Jackie Chan was rigorously trained in music, dance, and traditional martial arts. A visiting filmmaker offered Chan his first (tiny) role as a stunt player. Chan took the part, and soon left the Opera to pursue the world of film. Fellow Opera students Biao Yuen and Sammo Hung Kam-Bo would also have careers in film, and the three would star in several films together in the following years. Chan's talent and enthusiasm soon saw him taking larger and more important roles, graduating first to stunt coordinator, and then to director.
