More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
I try to combine in my paintings cinematic feeling, emotional feeling, and sometimes actually writing on the page to combine all the different elements of communication.
Sylvester Stallone
I understand that a lot of other actors don't have a choice. They have to eat so they need to work and they'll do films that they're not so proud of. But I've been fortunate enough to be given a second wind, so I try to pick projects I know will provide the audience the kind of escapism they want from me.
Sylvester Stallone
I loved 'Rocky' and 'Rambo', and am very proud of them.
Sylvester Stallone
Sometimes worst enemies like a Mohammed Ali and Joe Frazier that's what makes you fight so hard. Without them they never would have achieved greatness.
Sylvester Stallone
If you express yourself too much, you're considered weak.
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
I was on cruise control from '85 to '95, and it was my fault. There were a lot of self-inflicted wounds, when I was not doing any original material. I wasn't directing. I wasn't writing. That's not who I am.
Sylvester Stallone
I think that's become passe, but if you can surround yourself with a kind of monument to yourself and your family - a statement - and you can afford it, then that's a noble project.
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
If you think people are inherently good, you get rid of the police for 24 hours - see what happens.
Sylvester Stallone
Now it really is, believe it or not, 90% of the films are green lit, not by the studio heads, but by the marketing department.
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
To be really artful, though, you have to be subjective and so singular.
Sylvester Stallone
Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!
Sylvester Stallone
Rocky would definitely run for councilman. Maybe mayor. But these people are actually most effective in the family unit. That's where they shine.
Sylvester Stallone
Every generation has to find their own heroes.
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
When you're scared, when you're hanging on, when life is hurting you, then you're going to see what you're really made of.
Sylvester Stallone
People don't realize that when they 'throw out' their back, it's often because of weak abs. These muscles are essential for lower-back strength and good posture.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm perceived to be this solitary character, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Sylvester Stallone
