It's amazing because people come up to me and say, 'Chuck, you're the luckiest guy in the world to be a world karate champion and a movie and TV star.' When they say this to me, I kind of smile because luck had nothing to do with it; God had everythi...
When I got into the film business, my aim was to adopt a positive persona, of a guy who fights against injustice. And it saved me, because my acting was atrocious to say the least!
In America the schools have become too permissive, the kids now are controlling the schools, the tail is wagging the dog. We've got to make a change there and get it back to where the teachers have control of the classrooms.
People need to realise what real happiness and success is, because success as an actor is fleeting. You can be up there one day and gone the next.
I think you can learn from history.
I definitely feel I do have God in my corner.
I gave my life to the Lord at 12. I was baptized at 12.
I think setting a goal, getting a visual image of what it is you want. You've got to see what it is you want to achieve before you can pursue it.
I've always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you've got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that you want to accomplish.
A lot of people give up just before they're about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.
Some of the most miserable people I know are some of the richest people in America, they are the most miserable individuals I've ever seen.
Violence is my last option.
It's the bullies who are afraid, are the ones that do all the fighting. It's not the secure kids that get out there and fight. It's the insecure kids.

I'm a very religious person.
I'm a people's actor, not a critics' actor, and I always have been.
Truthfully, I'm proud of each of my films in a certain way.
Well, I grew up as a democrat.
I think I can achieve more outside the political arena.
