I love challenges. If you don't have any and can do whatever you want, then it's probably time to die.

I really am a guy who can be black and white. I don't understand, too much, the gray. And truly I can go from one type of character to another type of character.

I love karate, it's like a bible to me. But deep inside I'm so I mean, I'm so sensitive.

Because no matter what you say in life, the truth will always be the truth. You know when someone is telling the truth, you look in the eyes. I have a tendency to believe people.

I'm not a movie star. I'm a brand name. Van Damme is like Levi's. I go on vacation, and everywhere I go, people love me for my name, not for my movies.

••If you work with a jackhammer during an earthquake, stop, otherwise you are working for nothing.

I've had my ups and downs. My fair share of bumpy roads and heavy winds. That's what made me what I am today.
