More quotes by Dolph Lundgren
I do a little bit of yoga-style meditation. Relaxing and breathing even just one minute a day makes a big difference.
Dolph Lundgren
I try to keep the martial arts up. It's a good thing, not just physically but also for your mind.
Dolph Lundgren
It was fun to talk too much [as Jebediah Woodley], to keep running your mouth whether the other characters want to hear it or not. That's part of what made this guy fun.
Dolph Lundgren
Nicolas Cage is a great actor and he's done some good action movies too.
Dolph Lundgren
You really have to work hard to create a three-dimensional character. You have to rehearse and explore and take your time. You can't just memorize your lines and do it on the fly.
Dolph Lundgren
When I got cast in 'Rocky IV,' I had never seen a film camera before. And here I was in this boxing movie.
Dolph Lundgren
First the movie, the actual playing of the role and trying to deliver what everybody wanted. Then, when the film came out, there was instant fame. I was just a kid from Sweden, I didn't know what was going on.
Dolph Lundgren
I've drank more beer and pissed more blood and banged more women than all you numb nuts put together!
Dolph Lundgren
I never came with a conscious plan to replace anyone else. Stallone does feel that way. He is a real tough guy in real life, and he gets to act that out. If you meet him and work with him, he is what he is. He is a guy that works out every day.
Dolph Lundgren
I prefer to channel my problems and inner demons through a character. Another persona. That protects me and my family. I can get my frustrations out that way.
Dolph Lundgren
My problem is that people get intimidated by someone big and beautiful like me. They hate to think I can be smart as well.
Dolph Lundgren
I used to play drums when I was a kid, play the trombone.
Dolph Lundgren
I got good grades in school, but I'm not sure if I'm smart or if it just means I can study. I've never taken one of those IQ tests, and I don't want to. It's so pointless. As long as you enjoy life and have fun and you're healthy and happy, that's what matters.
Dolph Lundgren
When I was a kid, I was like everyone else: afraid of getting nuked. We had drills in school - Sweden was very close to the Soviet Union. There was definitely a lot of tension.
Dolph Lundgren
It takes nine months for a baby to develop, it takes nine months to develop a character.

There are a lot of great athletes who stop working out, and they get out of shape like everybody else in their 30s and 40s.
Dolph Lundgren
I would think that the drumstick is probably pretty good. Because you can put that anywhere. If you are a strong guy, you can put it in the throat, the nose, the mouth, the ear. It's also easily concealed. The guitar is pretty good, but you have to break it. And that's pretty difficult.
Dolph Lundgren
I'd already rehearsed it [ Don't Kill It script ] for the first time it was supposed to happen and the second time. That was a blessing in disguise because the character [Jebediah Woodley] grew a little bit in me.
Dolph Lundgren
Karate has helped me lots, otherwise I might have got lost in substance abuse or something like the things a lot of other people do.
Dolph Lundgren
People like to lay their whole life, and all of their own secrets out in front of the world. They make money off of it, and find satisfaction that way. I personally don't believe in that. I think it can be hurtful to yourself and those around you.
