I'm a people's actor, not a critics' actor, and I always have been.

People need to realise what real happiness and success is, because success as an actor is fleeting. You can be up there one day and gone the next.

Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth.

Whatever luck I had, I made. I was never a natural athlete, but I paid my dues in sweat and concentration and took the time necessary to learn karate and become world champion.

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.

Well, I grew up as a democrat.

If I had said, "I don't stand a chance," one thing is clear: I wouldn't have.
