You realize as a director that when you are cutting a film, you want to have alternatives. You need color and choices. You don't want four takes that are identical.

More quotes by Dolph Lundgren
Stallone is a great writer. He wrote one of the best screenplays ever written. Rocky. It is one of the biggest classics of all time. I think in the past, he was shying away from writing his own stuff, because there is a lot of pressure when you star in something that you write.
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.
Dolph Lundgren
You know, some of the action stuff, I tend to have a pretty good sense of humor about it. Even when I direct and have a lot of pressure, it teaches me to laugh at stuff. I think that comes also from sports, from combat sports, where you've got to learn to laugh at it and take it in stride. Otherwise, you just can't deal with it.
Dolph Lundgren
I like the old school heavy metal bands like AC/DC and Aeromith. I like that type of music. As the director, I tried to influence the type of music the bands in the movie would play.
Dolph Lundgren
I'm not doing any crazy stuff any more. Like I used to do high falls I used to jump from the motorcycle to the truck myself. That's unheard of today. Now nobody would ever do that. In those days it was stupid, man. I just did it because that's what it was, but that I don't do anymore.
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
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
Film is about what you are thinking. It's about what's inside.
Dolph Lundgren
I think the energy I give off is quite non-confrontational. That's something you learn from karate. Once you try to be a tough guy, you've got to pay up. You've got to prove yourself. And that's exhausting.
Dolph Lundgren
I've drank more beer and pissed more blood and banged more women than all you numb nuts put together!
Dolph Lundgren
Unless you're playing a real character based on a real person, if someone else has done it before, you're probably better off not watching it as an actor. Otherwise you end up trying to copy someone else.
Dolph Lundgren
I do weights a few times a week. Not a lot of heavy weights. I do it just to keep my muscle toned. With the martial arts, I am doing pretty basic stuff. I do some sparring. If I get a chance, I will go swimming or running in-between. I keep in pretty good shape between films.
Dolph Lundgren
You get a bigger paycheck if you are the hero. There is something good about it.
Dolph Lundgren
I think religious movies are more of a subset of the broader historical trend, and also the fact that there is more history in Europe, whereas in America, America is about the future. People in Europe think more of the past, and that's why I think filmmakers are drawn to it more.
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
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.

Nicolas Cage is a great actor and he's done some good action movies too.
Dolph Lundgren
I think by planning an exercise regime, your diet follows to some extent.
Dolph Lundgren
I've never had a good line. Well, maybe 'I must break you'.
Dolph Lundgren
When I started studying acting in New York, I didn't plan to be an action hero. I just wanted to learn acting because I felt it was something I needed to try to do for myself, to express something, my inner pain, or something I couldn't get out.
