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

People study martial arts for many reasons, sometimes all the wrong reasons. For example, I have had potential students come to my dojo with a belligerent and cocky attitude. When I ask why they want to study my art, their response has indicated to me that their goal is to learn to fight, which is the antithesis of the philosophy I hope to instill: I want them to know how to defend themselves if necessary, but to avoid fighting whenever possible because they will have nothing to prove by fighting.

I'm very grateful for every thing I have. You know when you start losing that then you start losing what life's all about.

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.

My acting is atrocious, to say the least. But I've found that it's not acting that people are concerned about, it's your presence.

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.

Violence is my last option.
