You get a bigger paycheck if you are the hero. There is something good about it.

I try to keep the martial arts up. It's a good thing, not just physically but also for your mind.

I've drank more beer and pissed more blood and banged more women than all you numb nuts put together!

One day you'll understand the sheer awesomeness that is me.

My problem is that people get intimidated by someone big and beautiful like me. They hate to think I can be smart as well.

Everybody's life has some mythical quality. You struggle against obstacles, you fight to get to a higher level and there are great loves.

I've never had a good line. Well, maybe 'I must break you'.

In the normal life of an actor or director, running around, there's not much time to go to church. But there's other ways to be spiritual, too.

At least once a week, I try to have one day where I have nothing planned so I can get up and just go back to bed and lay around and recharge my batteries.

I was very sickly as a kid and had a lot of allergies, so martial arts gave me the chance to feel strong.

I discovered martial arts, first judo and then karate, and I became quite good at it, because I had something to prove. And more than anything, I needed to feel safe.

You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.

Never become impatient with the process, bored with the pace, frustrated at the meager results, just keep trying.

Trust is the base for all relations. If it breaks, then it’s not easy to rejoin. It’s very easy to say ‘I don’t trust you’, but the pain these words cause is immense.

Art matures. It is the formal elaboration of activity, complete in its own pattern. It is a cosmos of its own.

A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.

When writing loses touch with the beautiful surface of the world, it loses its way. You always want to be in touch with how things look and what people say and what they call their dogs.

Life ain't all beer and skittles, and more's the pity; but what's the odds, so long as you're happy?

I came into adult life equipped with an essentially romantic ethic.

I have not intended to denigrate or hurt the beliefs of anyone through my art.

A nod, a bow, and a tip of the lid to the person who coulda and shoulda and did.
