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.

Movies are a collective art. Art by proxy.

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
Image
Some actors are brilliant character guys. They submerge.

If you come into my house, I'm going to fight much more viciously to get you out than if we were on a neutral piece of land.
Sylvester Stallone
Image
You have to grab life by the throat and squeeze before it grabs you by your neck and breaks it. Own your destiny.

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 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.

I guess the best thing I do of all is ride. Horsemanship, I have a natural flair for it.

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.

Early on everyone should do, every time they do a big film, they should do a little film. It really does keep you grounded.
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.

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

You have to have an almost boundless reservoir of energy and interest to enter politics because quite often it's thankless and fruitless and you can't accomplish much.

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.

When I'm doing a movie, I eat the same thing every day. For lunch, it's tuna salad or chicken salad and cole slaw. That's it. For dinner it's either veal and rice, fish and rice or steak and rice. It gets boring boy, does it get boring.

Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!

Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!

Don't discuss your dreams. Pursue them!

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.

When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals.
