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.

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 am the Fred Astaire of karate.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
When you finish a film, if you believed in your character, you're empty.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
You have to believe what you say, and if you believe what you are saying, then acting is easy.

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
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
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
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
My body looks like 30 but my face looks like 50. But I cannot walk bare-chested in the streets. I like to do these movies to challenge myself physically.
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
In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Take your big stick, and your boyfriend, and go find a bus to catch.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
I love karate, it's like a bible to me. But deep inside I'm so I mean, I'm so sensitive.
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
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'm fast, why? Because I eat vegetables.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
In the past, I was working out too heavy.
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'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
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.
