Jackie Chan


About Jackie Chan
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.
I hate violence, yes I do. It's kind of a dilemma, huh?

  • 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".

Condoleezza Rice

Condoleezza Rice

Condoleezza Rice is the second woman to be US Secretary of State, after Madeleine Albright during the Clinton administration. She is the first black woman to be Secretary of State, and she holds the highest position in a presidential cabinet that any black woman has held. Rice describes herself as a moderate Republican, and has never been identified with so-called "black issues", which has led some African-Americans to view her with suspicion. She says she became a Republican when she watched the 1984 Democratic Convention on TV, and decided that the Democrats' appeals to "women, minorities, and the poor" really meant "helpless people and the poor". Rice said, "I decided I'd rather be ignored than patronized."
