In my mind, martial arts movies are martial arts movies and action is action. it's quite different, because martial arts doesn't just have physical form; you have a philosophy, internal and external. a lot of it involves your life. how you see the world. an action film i think is just about the movement. i think it's different.

More From Jet Li

In less than a century we experienced great movement. the youth movement! the labor movement! the civil rights movement! the peace movement! the solidarity movement! the women's movement! the disability movement! the disarmament movement! the gay rights movement! the environmental movement! movement! transformation! is there any reason to believe we are done?

Martial arts have two parts. one is external, other internal. the external is physical part. the internal is philosophy of how to be, what kind of person learns martial arts.

Our time has been distinguished, more than by anything else, by a mastery, a control, of the external world, and by an almost total forgetfulness of the internal world. if one estimates human evolution from the point of view of knowledge of the external world, then we are in many respects progressing. if our estimate is from the point of view of the internal world, and of oneness of internal and external, then the judgment must be very different.

There's one uneasy borderline between what is external and what is internal, and this borderline is defined exactly by the sense organs and the skin and the introduction of external things within my own body. consciousness is altered by physical events and physical objects, which impinge upon my sense organs, or which i introduce into my body. now the name traditionally given to external objects or processes which change you internally is sacrament. sacraments are the visible and tangible techniques for bringing you close to your own divinity.

Jackie chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. he does one kind of martial arts that jet li doesn't know how to do and jet li does a martial art that jackie chan doesn't know how to do. you can both go to two chinese restaurants, but both can have different kinds of food.

In fashion, you have to have perseverance. you have to do it again and again, but it's something that comes out of my heart, and i love it.

A happy fart never comes from a miserable ass.

Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems not now an open question. three-fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and i believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts.
