More quotes by Jean-Claude Van Damme
I am the Fred Astaire of karate.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
You can create the perfect triceps by just pushing yourself off your wall.
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
What I promise to my actors, and to my director, is to give them the salary and everything they need.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
When you finish a film, if you believed in your character, you're empty.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
I'm a big traveler these days. I was in Hong Kong. I live there. I was just in Belgium with my parents and now I'm on my way to North America. You will find me all over.
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'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
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
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
What really helps a guy to become an action hero today is the directing of the movie. All those fast cuts.
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
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
Karate's a very boring sport, but when you know the technique you can go further and further.
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
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
I'm fast, why? Because I eat vegetables.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
If you work with a jackhammer during an earthquake, stop, otherwise you are working for nothing.
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
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
