QUOTES BY Jean-Claude Van Damme


We are here to condemn the Palestinian occupation of the territories, but also to condemn the recent racist attack in France, against both Jews and Arabs.

Take your big stick, and your boyfriend, and go find a bus to catch.

You just have to take a little salt, and since I'm doing that it's, like, BOOM! In one week, I felt it kick in. All the commotion around me, all the water around me, moving left and right around me, became like a lake.

Believe me - I've done very good stuff and very crazy stuff, and I don't regret the crazy stuff.

In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama.

I'm lucky, because I started action movies at the age of 25. Now I'm 47, and I'm still kicking like a mule, and I'm as flexible as before.

I'm not complaining about doing 20-hour days. It's a joy to be able to work on yet another film.

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.

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.
