I was on cruise control from '85 to '95, and it was my fault. There were a lot of self-inflicted wounds, when I was not doing any original material. I wasn't directing. I wasn't writing. That's not who I am.

More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
I thought I had reached a point in life where everything would be smooth. But it is not. It just gets more jagged and pitted and filled with turns that take you into the dark recesses of your mind. It never seems to get easy.
Sylvester Stallone
I have a fear of heights that borders on mania.
Sylvester Stallone
Now if you know what you're worth. Then go out and get what you're worth.
Sylvester Stallone
Movies are a collective art. Art by proxy.
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 know I can't play funny roles in movies. I tried, and it didn't work.
Sylvester Stallone
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.
Sylvester Stallone
I think kids growing up, if they were picked on and feeling inferior at 12, they're going to feel that way at 72. You just deal with it better. I'm serious.
Sylvester Stallone
At the very end, the one person who Rambo should kill, he doesn't kill. He lets it live. Because you can't kill that kind of hypocritical bureaucracy. It goes on forever.
Sylvester Stallone
Polo is like tennis - you literally have to live it.
Sylvester Stallone
Rocky is a very predictable movie. The ending is a foregone conclusion.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful.
Sylvester Stallone
You have to grab life by the throat and squeeze before it grabs you by your neck and breaks it. Own your destiny.
Sylvester Stallone
Voices are like fingerprints, from Cagney to Bogart. They never lost it. My voice is instrumental in categorizing me.
Sylvester Stallone
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.
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
I've always boxed a certain way. But with Rocky, the character himself had to be kind of awkward. So I had to learn to fight that way.
Sylvester Stallone
I try to combine in my paintings cinematic feeling, emotional feeling, and sometimes actually writing on the page to combine all the different elements of communication.
Sylvester Stallone
There are endless exercises for arms, but the basics are best-chinups and pushups.
Sylvester Stallone
I love being so tight on people in close-ups that the veins in their eyes look like the Mississippi River.
