Whenever I don't get injured, the film is a dud. I didn't bleed on 'Rhinestone.' I didn't bleed on 'Stop! Or My Mom will Shoot.'

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.

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.

I've always said that the artist dies twice. And the first death is the hardest which is the career death, the creative death. The physical death is an inevitability.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When I was a kid, my mother used to feed me mashed-potato sandwiches, brussel sprout sandwiches my brain cells were starving from lack of food. I'll eat anything. I'll eat dirt.

Everybody has anger or regret in them one way or another. They all try different things to get it out. Some people go to psychiatrists. Some paint pictures. Some people talk it out.

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.

I think I'd like to be remembered as someone who beat the odds through just plain determination. ... that I persevered. Because I think that being somewhat of a pest to life, constantly plaguing and pursuing, will bring results.

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.

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.

Every time I've failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.

I'd live in a museum if I could. I used to spend hours and hours in the Museum of Modern Art.

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

I try to tell people that just because you're buff and cut doesn't mean you're healthy.

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.

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
