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.

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

Sometimes the things we want most are the hardest to get. That means you need to be even more determined to succeed. That's what it takes to be a winner. You have to want it bad enough to stick with it no matter how tough things get.

No one's perfect. And we've all made our mistakes and you just have to live with them and try to not make them again.

When I got into the film world, I got sucked into the secular aspect of the entertainment field and I really drifted away from my faith. Its amazing...as successful as I was as an actor, and the money and the fame, there was still something missing.

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

My whole goal in my film career is to project a positive image on the screen, that I hope people will enjoy watching.
