Quotes

“I don’t think I am good at relationships. Our job as entertainers is one that is judged by the end result. We are always busy maintaining our appearance and constantly working at self improvement. There aren’t too many women who understand that. They may be understanding in the beginning, but one or two months later, women are all the same.”

“Bullying is so common that it’s viewed as almost ‘normal,’ but it should never be.”

“I hope my work inspires people to speak and to stand up together to make change. Big or small, it doesn’t matter.”

“In the future, I would like to become a missionary. I’d like to go to countries where I have received much love as a musician and personally return all of that love.”

“Children can change the world.”

“I appreciate that my fans think I’m classically good-looking and that I have a clean-cut image, but I also want to show other sides of myself.”

“Jackie Chan is so international. Everywhere you go, people know who he is. I hope I can be like that one day too – to be an actor that represents Asia to the world.”

“Unfortunately, I have witnessed millions of children suffering from the deprivation of basic rights such as the rights to education, the rights to health and the rights to play.”

“There are those who are value-oriented and those who are success-oriented. However shouldn’t an actor deliver an image to his audience through roles he chooses to portray, based on his beliefs in life?”
