More quotes by Jean-Claude Van Damme
Everybody understands a slap in the face. In Japan, Belgium, or America, a punch is a punch. Comedy will be different in Europe or America or Japan, so my movies are very international.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
If a product is more expensive than another one and more sustainable in ecology, consumers will not buy it. We're in a very sharp competitive market.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
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.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
A pair of legs engineered to defy the laws of physics and a mindset to master the most epic of splits.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
I don't want to be buried in the ground, rotting, with all those worms. What I would love is to have my body dropped where you have those big icebergs and the water is so cold and pure, to be eaten by a polar bear or a seal or an otter.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
A man may have the best of wealth, cars and fame. But there is nothing more precious in life that he will get than a woman's heart.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
My last fight was more than 20 years ago. I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover. If somebody's going to speak bad about me, I will walk away. But if a guy like Steven Seagal slaps me once, I will slap him twice as hard. Life is full of violence.
Jean-Claude Van Damme

Jean-Claude Van Damme
Obviously I've taken drugs.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
When I was 24, I was full of life. I was that ham who wanted to be famous, a movie star, all that stuff. I think it's cool. But it was not what I was searching for, really. It was more a delusion.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
I love challenges. If you don't have any and can do whatever you want, then it's probably time to die.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Take your big stick, and your boyfriend, and go find a bus to catch.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
If you work with a jackhammer during an earthquake, stop, otherwise you are working for nothing.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
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.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
A cookie has no soul, it's just a cookie. But before it was milk and eggs. And in eggs there's the potential for life.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Air is beautiful, yet you cannot see it. It's soft, yet you cannot touch it. Air is a little like my brain.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
You have to believe what you say, and if you believe what you are saying, then acting is easy.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
I came to America with a dream and I made it. The dream became reality. America is built for success.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
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.
