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.

More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
Most of the films I myself like don't do very well. Every director, he has a choice, whether to go for subtlety and try to articulate every minute detail, or to go for the broad strokes and hope that the people will fill in between the lines. I tend to go for the broader strokes.
Sylvester Stallone
To be really artful, though, you have to be subjective and so singular.
Sylvester Stallone
I wish I had thought of Velcro muscles myself. I didn't have to go to the gym for all those years, all the hours wedded to the iron game, as we call it.
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
Every time I've failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.
Sylvester Stallone
I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.
Sylvester Stallone
Voices are like fingerprints, from Cagney to Bogart. They never lost it. My voice is instrumental in categorizing me.
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 never started out to be an action actor. I was an ensemble actor.
Sylvester Stallone
Eventually writing became more interesting to me than acting.
Sylvester Stallone
Movies are the work of a collective conscious. It takes 500-800 people on a movie to complete a vision.
Sylvester Stallone
I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.
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
There might have been a period around 'Tango & Cash' when I was nearly fashionable. My problem is that my weight's always been changing for the movies I'm in.
Sylvester Stallone
At the very end, the one person who Rambo should kill, he doesn't kill. He lets it live. Because you can't kill that kind of hypocritical bureaucracy. It goes on forever.
Sylvester Stallone
Characters I've played, they used to impact my paintings, like 80 percent of the time, and especially when I was doing an action film.
Sylvester Stallone
Once I stopped trying to always do everything my way, and once I asked for God's help, things have truly gone a different direction.
Sylvester Stallone
Polo is like tennis - you literally have to live it.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful.
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
