More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
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.
Sylvester Stallone
Sometimes worst enemies like a Mohammed Ali and Joe Frazier that's what makes you fight so hard. Without them they never would have achieved greatness.
Sylvester Stallone
Eventually writing became more interesting to me than acting.
Sylvester Stallone
Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm not handsome in the classical sense. The eyes droop, the mouth is crooked, the teeth aren't straight, the voice sounds like a Mafioso pallbearer, but somehow it all works.
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
Your spiritual sense will make you either a winner or a loser.
Sylvester Stallone
Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job PARKING CARS!
Sylvester Stallone
I think there's something about being a neophyte that's refreshing and hard to duplicate it brings about real innovation. Innovation usually comes about through blind ignorance.
Sylvester Stallone
Life is more than sunglasses and hit movies. Reality - that's the main event.
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
When I saw 'Hercules,' my mind just exploded because I was extremely thin I was insecure. I literally ran out of the theatre and started lifting things, anything I could think of - milk crates. I'm still lifting things. It changed my life.
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
Every generation has to find their own heroes.
Sylvester Stallone
Suddenly I've got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.
Sylvester Stallone
Theater is like boxing - having the audience ringside. It's instant gratification. Or horrification.
Sylvester Stallone
I'd live in a museum if I could. I used to spend hours and hours in the Museum of Modern Art.
Sylvester Stallone
Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.
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
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
