More quotes by 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
What is a movie star? It is an illusion. It was everything I ever wanted to be, but it became a kind of shell, non? It was what made me famous and got me women. But it wasn't real.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
In the past, I was working out too heavy.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
You can create the perfect triceps by just pushing yourself off your wall.
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
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.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
What I promise to my actors, and to my director, is to give them the salary and everything they need.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
I am the Fred Astaire of karate.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
When I go on location, we have a schedule. And when you have a schedule, you know when you're not working, so I train very well on location. But I also train three or four times a week at home, but today I train differently than before.
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
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
It's time for me to do things I like so I will be happy, my wife will be happy, my friends will be happy. I just want to do something I'm proud of. It's time for me to change. I could sign with a company for 10 movies and I'm the king of video and so what?
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
I like structure - like driving: go past the school on the street, stay on the right side, no hitting the car, go in right, you'll see a big church, stop and take a left, and you'll have it. By doing this I'm giving a structure of life, a path of light, and showing what happens between me and me, which is something very beautiful.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
If you phone a psychic and she doesn't answer the phone before it rings, hang up.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
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.
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
But on average, I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today, I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training, you accentuate the problem.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
You know, I looked at my face in the mirror this morning, and I like being old. My face has more content and when I train in the gym now, I am not training to be strong or handsome - just better than I was yesterday. These days the race is just against myself.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
If you work with a jackhammer during an earthquake, stop, otherwise you are working for nothing.
