Never be afraid to fail. Failure is only a stepping stone to improvement. Never be overconfident because that will block your improvement.

From Tony Jaa

I practice martial arts not to win over other people but to win over my own heart.

From Tony Jaa

After doing a bunch of movies as a stuntman, I realized that being a stuntman, you are in the shadow of the actor, and they don't get to see your true ability, and I wanted people to see that it was really me doing those stunts, and it was really my true abilities.

I don't really want to be compared to Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, but I really feel honored and really proud that people actually see me as them or similar to them, and because they are my inspiration for what I have become today. I am really honored that people compare me to those people.

From Tony Jaa

I watch mostly every martial arts movie... I really like movies that aren't just martial arts. I like movies that have spiritual meaning behind them, like samurai movies, or movies that have meditation.

From Tony Jaa
