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.

While I filmed the 'Walker, Texas Ranger' series for eight and a half years, I had never had much time to read, except for screenplays of the episodes.

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

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.

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!

A lot of times people look at the negative side of what they feel they can't do. I always look on the positive side of what I can do.

There is no finish line. When you reach one goal, find a new one.
