More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals.
Sylvester Stallone
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Sylvester Stallone
I know I can't play funny roles in movies. I tried, and it didn't work.
Sylvester Stallone
I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.
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've had a lot of operations. I'm kind of like Franken-actor.
Sylvester Stallone
What I'm trying to do now in my life - not just with the building, but with everything - is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won't just be ephemeral flashes in the pan.
Sylvester Stallone
Action film is really easy to do, you just get in a car and smash through things and it's called action. The real key is what happens between the action when it's quiet. Loud is easy. Quiet, real hard.
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
I tell people diets don't work. And I don't care what they say. I have tried them all.
Sylvester Stallone
I wish my daughters would box. I'm so worried about the guys coming up to them. I would love them to be able to smack a guy right off a bar stool.
Sylvester Stallone
I think there's a kind of built-in arrogance to anyone who considers themself an artist. They want to feel as though like they can run the whole spectrum. I can do it all. I can do minimalism, and I can do classical art. Well, that's not true.
Sylvester Stallone
If you don't have a mountain, build one and then climb it. And after you climb it, build another one otherwise you start to flatline in your life.
Sylvester Stallone
With writing, I think you have to be honest with yourself. I have a certain kind of writing that is, I like to really embellish the human spirit. You have to write about something you have a feel for.
Sylvester Stallone
Lighting can bring out certain contours in the body, in the face, in the eyes, that otherwise flat lighting couldn't.
Sylvester Stallone
Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job PARKING CARS!
Sylvester Stallone
Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!
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 tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
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.
