I was born in Los Angeles, California in 1982.
I don’t think promotion is particularly hard work – it’s just annoying. Let’s do a quick interview.
I am going to eight film festivals starting next month but do you really care?
I’m an easy-going guy. If you can’t get along with me, you have a problem.
I am fine with paparazzi when they don’t recognize me. I even chatted one up pretending to be some anonymous press guy. We even exchanged information.
My mom and I were like twins. She felt responsible for my well-being so much that she stuck with me wherever I went until I went to university.
Only you and your family are meant to be. For everyone else, you have the right to pick and choose.
I could only call my dad “Dad” at home long ago. That’s good enough. I didn’t see him much anyway.
My dad shielded me from the outside world by building an invisible Great Wall around me. It wasn’t that bad because I didn’t know how good it was to be free.
My dad belongs to everyone. He has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. His career is never just his career – it involves a lot of people.
If he stays home all day, he'd bother my mom, and my mom would bother me - I'd go insane.
People still call me “Jackie Chan’s son.” I just stopped responding to them.
I appreciate singers who can actually write their own songs. Those who can only sing well are vocal machines at best.
On my dad’s singing: very, very interesting.
Jonathan Lee Chung-shan [the famous Taiwanese singer-songwriter] refuses to write me songs. According to him, it would be like Snoop Dog singing Eric Clapton songs – our styles just don’t match.
I was admitted to the College of William and Mary –-a school ranking high for Liberal Arts and suicide. Then I got transferred to the Musicians Institute, and ended up with a not-so-successful album.
If you like something and don’t understand it, it is probably art.
My latest movie, “The Sun Also Rises,” is a pretty abstract one. Even now, I don’t really know what the director wants to express. However, Jiang Wen is in it, so everyone thinks the movie is artistic.
I don’t know if I want to live like my dad, though he has a very successful career. It’s like asking how you would feel if you won the Mark Six – you won’t know until the moment comes.
I believe that the ultimate in human existence is to have your own kids walking around the world.
I don’t want a daughter. I don’t want guys to take advantage of her, even if she likes it. We are dangerous animals.
The greatest virus in the world is the human being. Nothing damages lives as much as we do.
Our biggest enemy is not terrorism – it is global warming.
What environmentalism needs is some branding. Driving a hybrid car may make you a nice person who cares about the environment – but in most people’s eyes, it is still not as cool as driving a Benz.
Being cool is as strong a motivation as being nice.
Fart whenever the sensation comes. If you hold it, you lose it.
There was a time at the airport in Holland when I felt like farting a storm. So I walked quickly away from the crowd to get the job done. However, the fart produced an amplified echo that everyone heard. That was the most embarrassing moment of my life.
Ferrari can help save the world. If they start producing some stylish hybrids, then everyone would think driving a hybrid is cool.
I believe in capital punishment. Some people really deserve to be shot in the head.
The most successful evil people in history are always the ones that lack a sense of shame. They would do the most shameful thing while feeling shameless about it.
Desires make people vulnerable to defeat. To beat anyone, know what he wants and hold on to it.
