More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
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
Making a movie is the same as an orchestra it's moving all the different instruments and the sounds, the kinetic and the auditory and the visual all together. I'm probably the trombone.
Sylvester Stallone
My favorite snack would have to be Fritos, no doubt about it. Fritos and mayonnaise. I know. Really healthy, isn't it?
Sylvester Stallone
What I'm trying to do now in my life - not just with the building, but with everything - is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won't just be ephemeral flashes in the pan.
Sylvester Stallone
Voices are like fingerprints, from Cagney to Bogart. They never lost it. My voice is instrumental in categorizing me.
Sylvester Stallone
I've had a lot of operations. I'm kind of like Franken-actor.
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
Most of the films I myself like don't do very well. Every director, he has a choice, whether to go for subtlety and try to articulate every minute detail, or to go for the broad strokes and hope that the people will fill in between the lines. I tend to go for the broader strokes.
Sylvester Stallone
Eventually writing became more interesting to me than acting.
Sylvester Stallone
A lot of time people are like, oh my God, you're stereotyped. Good, then you're known for something.
Sylvester Stallone
Consider the source...Don't be a fool by listening to a fool.
Sylvester Stallone
I keep trying to tell people. I said, at 40, 45, you're at that crossroads. You really are there. And it's not like you can have gain without pain, but this is it. The days are - like when I wrote this whole thing about, in the beginning of my first magazine. I said, If you live to be 75 years old, that's 3,900 weekends. That's it.
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.
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
Every rep I did on chin-ups, on squats with 500 pounds, I never said, to myself, 'Oh, my God, another rep.' I said, 'Yes, another rep, because that will make my dream turn into a reality.'
Sylvester Stallone
I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful.
Sylvester Stallone
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
For 'Rocky II,' I got a torn pectoral muscle, I got all beat up inside, I had to have an operation to splice things back together.
Sylvester Stallone
There'll never be a 'Rocky IV.' You gotta call a halt.
Sylvester Stallone
