“I suppose I will try to enjoy my life now while I have it. Who knows what’s going to happen in the future?”

Unless you’re playing a real character based on a real person, if someone else has done it before, you’re probably better off not watching it as an actor. Otherwise you end up trying to copy someone else.

One day you’ll understand the sheer awesomeness that is me.

People like to lay their whole life, and all of their own secrets out in front of the world. They make money off of it, and find satisfaction that way. I personally don’t believe in that. I think it can be hurtful to yourself and those around you.

You realize as a director that when you are cutting a film, you want to have alternatives. You need color and choices. You don’t want four takes that are identical.

Karate has helped me lots, otherwise I might have got lost in substance abuse or something like the things a lot of other people do.

I’ve actually always been into suits. But I never really wore them, I guess because I was too young and it didn’t feel right.

I think mortality makes you live a fuller existence. When I was a kid I was scared of death, and maybe that’s what made me desperate to get the most out of life.

I’m not going to freeze my body. One life is enough for me. Some people take this gamble. That someone will be able to bring them back in the future. I’m not going to do it.

Jackie Chan, I’ve known him, he’s a great guy. I know he’s very watchable and fun. He’s perfect, actually.

In the normal life of an actor or director, running around, there’s not much time to go to church. But there’s other ways to be spiritual, too.

I wanted to become an engineer, or get a masters in business. But I had the opportunity to do films when I was about 25 and it was a great way to express myself.

I do a little bit of yoga-style meditation. Relaxing and breathing even just one minute a day makes a big difference.

Film is about what you are thinking. It’s about what’s inside.

First the movie, the actual playing of the role and trying to deliver what everybody wanted. Then, when the film came out, there was instant fame. I was just a kid from Sweden, I didn’t know what was going on.

I think the energy I give off is quite non-confrontational. That’s something you learn from karate. Once you try to be a tough guy, you’ve got to pay up. You’ve got to prove yourself. And that’s exhausting.

I prefer to channel my problems and inner demons through a character. Another persona. That protects me and my family. I can get my frustrations out that way.

When you enjoy your own company, being alone is no longer lonely.

I enjoy singing music with my audience.

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.

Don’t be afraid to take charge, think about what you want, then do the work, but then enjoy what makes you happy, bring along your crew, have a sense of humor.

A little weirdness is enough to enjoy life & a little ignorance to avoid the problems.

I always enjoy hearing different musical interpretations of the music.

Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.

I’m going to enjoy every little tiny moment with my family cause when crunch time comes it gets really lonely.
