I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
The character of Rocky was built on the idea that he was chosen to do something. That's why the first image in Rocky is the picture of Christ.
Sylvester Stallone
Don't discuss your dreams. Pursue them!
Sylvester Stallone
I have tons of regrets, but I think that's one of the reasons that push people to create things. Out of their angst, their regret, comes the best from artists, painters and writers.
Sylvester Stallone
People asked if I could have played the Terminator. Are you kidding? Not a chance, I never could have played the Terminator.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm a big believer that, in life, we can't succeed in everything. Most times, we lose.
Sylvester Stallone
That's what Rocky is all about: pride, reputation, and not being another bum in the neighborhood.
Sylvester Stallone
I think I'm a much better painter than an actor.
Sylvester Stallone
You know you've been around when they start to remake your own movies when you're still alive.
Sylvester Stallone
Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you're gonna have. It's pathetic. It really is pathetic. It's sad. We're living in the Dark Ages over there.
Sylvester Stallone
I've kind of fashioned my life after a Slinky. Bend me in a million shapes, and eventually I'll spring back to what I originally was.
Sylvester Stallone
Usually whenever you're scared of something, do it. If you're not afraid of it, don't do it.
Sylvester Stallone
We follow a certain pattern, a maze, if you will, every day, tracing our steps into certain districts and neighborhoods and back home. So it's easy for people to relate to clichés. That's why comedy routines are based on mutual experiences of clichés.
Sylvester Stallone
I think audiences have hit the wall with CGI and special effects. They have seen so many over-the-top events that they can't suspend disbelief.
Sylvester Stallone
I really have very little aspirations about acting because I think that probably the best things have come and gone. I would like to focus on writing and directing. I love writing and directing even though writing can be incredibly painful and lonely. I get great satisfaction from doing it.
Sylvester Stallone
I never quite understood these actors - though I envy them sometimes - who can lie out for a year or two. I feel as though time is a real pressing issue, and I want to get as much work done in the time that I have left.
Sylvester Stallone
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
Sylvester Stallone
Children are the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. It hurts me to be away from them for a few hours. It really does. I love them and they're girls, so they know how to push my buttons. But I've learned a lot and I have to thank my wife for that.
Sylvester Stallone
If I just know in my gut that a film is going to work, I'll fight to the death over it, and I convince myself. When a movie is purely a money job, the film doesn't have the same sort of intensity, and the audience almost senses it, at least that's the way I perceive it. So, yeah, the idea is to do something that you truly, truly believe in.
Sylvester Stallone
You can actually alter a person's perception when they're that young. I mean, it can affect them in a very positive way.
Sylvester Stallone
The champion's management says let's do this for real, for charity. Rocky says no but decides to be true to himself even though he's going to be berated by everyone. Just to compete, not to win.
Sylvester Stallone
