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.

More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
Children are the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. It hurts me to be away from them for a few hours. It really does. I love them and they're girls, so they know how to push my buttons. But I've learned a lot and I have to thank my wife for that.
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
Now if you know what you're worth. Then go out and get what you're worth.
Sylvester Stallone
I respect a woman too much to marry her.
Sylvester Stallone
Suddenly I've got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.
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
I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.
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'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.
Sylvester Stallone
I do believe that American should deal from strength.
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 have tremendous respect for fighters and I always tell people that boxing in movies is one thing but when you get into the ring for real, even the worst heavyweight in the world is going to murder you. You've just got to appreciate the pain and the suffering and the glory and skill that goes into what they do. That's why I love the sport so much.
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
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
We do two things in life: We race the clock and everything is a struggle. One way or not, it's a metaphorical battle all of the time.
Sylvester Stallone
Some actors are brilliant character guys. They submerge.
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
Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older.
Sylvester Stallone
When you're younger you just want to go out and make your mark in the world and doing that, quite often, the people that you love the most and the people you should be closest to suffer from estrangement. I'd be gone nine months a year, so how do you know anyone? When you come home you are a stranger.
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.
