Showing myself nude from behind doesn't pose any problems, but from the front that's another story. I don't want to lose all my fans!

Obviously I've taken drugs.

I'm one of the most sensitive human beings on Earth -- and I know it.

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.

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.

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.

I am the Fred Astaire of karate.

All I wanted to do was to become famous, but then I found out that it was nothing special.

Karate's a very boring sport, but when you know the technique you can go further and further.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.
