I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.

More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
I think kids growing up, if they were picked on and feeling inferior at 12, they're going to feel that way at 72. You just deal with it better. I'm serious.
Sylvester Stallone
And if I look at my icebox, there's no way I'm sitting there looking like Gandhi. I mean, I don't have crickets in there and little green rice. No, I mean it's a pretty liberal icebox. It's all in there.
Sylvester Stallone
You know what I think happened? After 'Rocky,' I was almost set up in the eyes of the media to make a flop.
Sylvester Stallone
I try to tell people that just because you're buff and cut doesn't mean you're healthy.
Sylvester Stallone
Boxing is sort of an inevitability. We know they are going to be pounding each other.
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
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
The only happy artist is a dead artist, because only then you can't change. After I die, I'll probably come back as a paintbrush.
Sylvester Stallone
Don't be gullible, use life before it uses you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there's a reaction.
Sylvester Stallone
It's funny because when Jason [Statham] was drowning I was filming with an iPhone. It may have been a bit insensitive but I just thought, you know what, this was a magic moment. And I couldn't help him anyway because I didn't want to drown.
Sylvester Stallone
Usually whenever you're scared of something, do it. If you're not afraid of it, don't do it.
Sylvester Stallone
Movies are a collective art. Art by proxy.
Sylvester Stallone
Some people maybe try to justify their laziness. You take out what you put in and the more I go to church and the more I turn myself over to the process of believing in Jesus, and to listening to his word and have him guide my hand I feel the pressure's off me.
Sylvester Stallone
I've had a lot of operations. I'm kind of like Franken-actor.
Sylvester Stallone
Suddenly I've got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.
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
Painting is as close as a person can get to actually capturing the heat of the moment.
Sylvester Stallone
Everyone has this conjecture that action films are somewhat less prestigious than dramatic films. Nothing could be further from the truth. I've done them both and this is hard and dangerous.
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
Nothing's harder than writing. There's no comparison. With directing, you can bounce a lot of ideas around. There's tremendous support - you've got editors and sound mixers. With writing, it's all you, and it's just crippling when people tear up your pages.
