More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
A lot of time people are like, oh my God, you're stereotyped. Good, then you're known for something.
Sylvester Stallone
Characters I've played, they used to impact my paintings, like 80 percent of the time, and especially when I was doing an action film.
Sylvester Stallone
There are endless exercises for arms, but the basics are best-chinups and pushups.
Sylvester Stallone
I am a sensitive writer, actor and director. Talking business disgusts me. If you want to talk business, call my disgusting personal manager.
Sylvester Stallone
When you're on top and you lead the parade, everyone's there throwing lilies and lilac water on your head. But when those parades have gone by and there's a storm in your heart, there are very few people that are going to sit there and listen to you bemoan life.
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
Theater is like boxing - having the audience ringside. It's instant gratification. Or horrification.
Sylvester Stallone
When you're scared, when you're hanging on, when life is hurting you, then you're going to see what you're really made of.
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
It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.
Sylvester Stallone
I know I can't play funny roles in movies. I tried, and it didn't work.
Sylvester Stallone
I just fight in my movies, never in real life.
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
I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I've just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it's not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.
Sylvester Stallone
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.
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 know you've been around when they start to remake your own movies when you're still alive.
Sylvester Stallone
I love art more than anything in the world except for my family.
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
When you're pushed killing is as easy as breathing.
Sylvester Stallone
