A lot of people give up just before they're about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.

If you want to accomplish anything in life, you can't just sit back and hope it will happen. You've got to make it happen.

Always remember that your success begins inside you: If you can't see it first, no one else ever will.

When I got into the film business, my aim was to adopt a positive persona, of a guy who fights against injustice. And it saved me, because my acting was atrocious to say the least!

Cross Country: No half times, no time outs, no substitutions. It must be the only true sport.

It's amazing because people come up to me and say, 'Chuck, you're the luckiest guy in the world to be a world karate champion and a movie and TV star.' When they say this to me, I kind of smile because luck had nothing to do with it; God had everything to do with it.

Run while you still have the chance.
