People whine, 'I haven't succeeded because I haven't had the breaks.' You create your own breaks.

One of my life's principles is to develop myself to the maximum of my potential in all ways and to help others do the same.

The fact is that everyone has ki, which is really little more than a technique of visualization allowing one to utilize the internal energy that we all have and letting it flow through the body.

I hope I don't get a roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris.

I don't initiate violence, I retaliate.

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.

Karate is the best thing you can do for your child.
