More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
When I was a kid, my mother used to feed me mashed-potato sandwiches, brussel sprout sandwiches my brain cells were starving from lack of food. I'll eat anything. I'll eat dirt.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm usually taken for a non-intellectual, a person of limited intelligence. I don't know why, but I figure it's because physically I don't look intelligent.
Sylvester Stallone
Whenever I don't get injured, the film is a dud. I didn't bleed on 'Rhinestone.' I didn't bleed on 'Stop! Or My Mom will Shoot.'
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
Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.
Sylvester Stallone
Everybody has anger or regret in them one way or another. They all try different things to get it out. Some people go to psychiatrists. Some paint pictures. Some people talk it out.
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.
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
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
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
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 consider myself something of a raconteur. I have a rather audacious sense of humour.
Sylvester Stallone
Sometimes I write with music on, and if I'm in a good flow, I don't even hear it.
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
Painting is as close as a person can get to actually capturing the heat of the moment.
Sylvester Stallone
I've always boxed a certain way. But with Rocky, the character himself had to be kind of awkward. So I had to learn to fight that way.
Sylvester Stallone
I would never run for president.
Sylvester Stallone
Playing polo is like trying to play golf during an earthquake.
Sylvester Stallone
Years ago I was diagnosed with a condition and my doctors prescribed human growth hormone and testosterone for its treatment. Under medical supervision I have continued to use both medications.
Sylvester Stallone
When people meet me they’re often surprised. I talk a great deal.
