More quotes by 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
Boxing is sort of an inevitability. We know they are going to be pounding each other.
Sylvester Stallone
Theater is like boxing - having the audience ringside. It's instant gratification. Or horrification.
Sylvester Stallone
I never quite understood these actors - though I envy them sometimes - who can lie out for a year or two. I feel as though time is a real pressing issue, and I want to get as much work done in the time that I have left.
Sylvester Stallone
The phenomenal thing that happened to me is that I was able to create two memorable men: one is the ultimate optimist, Rocky, and then you have Rambo, the ultimate pessimist. You're going to always be remembered for them, no matter what you do.
Sylvester Stallone
The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end.
Sylvester Stallone
Clichés are what good writing is all about. Because our lives are basically clichés.
Sylvester Stallone
Through failure, I found different ways to reverse my problems and get into the mainstream of Hollywood.
Sylvester Stallone
When I'm on a location, I pick a restaurant that's close and private and eat all my meals there.
Sylvester Stallone
It's funny because when Jason [Statham] was drowning I was filming with an iPhone. It may have been a bit insensitive but I just thought, you know what, this was a magic moment. And I couldn't help him anyway because I didn't want to drown.
Sylvester Stallone
Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!
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
You've got to show your soul otherwise you're just a piece of equipment.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm not right wing, I'm not left wing. I love my country.
Sylvester Stallone
If you express yourself too much, you're considered weak.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm always looking for a new challenge. There are a lot of mountains to climb out there. When I run out of mountains, I'll build a new one.
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
Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older.
Sylvester Stallone
If you look at people that have survived crashing in the mountains and lived up in the snow for 40 days - it's possible to do extraordinary feats.
Sylvester Stallone
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!
Sylvester Stallone
