More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
I love art more than anything in the world except for my family.
Sylvester Stallone
'Rocky' represents the optimistic side of life, and 'Rambo' represents purgatory.
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 have made a lot of career mistakes, a lot and I have made a lot of personal ones too!
Sylvester Stallone
If I just know in my gut that a film is going to work, I'll fight to the death over it, and I convince myself. When a movie is purely a money job, the film doesn't have the same sort of intensity, and the audience almost senses it, at least that's the way I perceive it. So, yeah, the idea is to do something that you truly, truly believe in.
Sylvester Stallone
Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!
Sylvester Stallone
I think people of all occupations, whether it's the camera - puller or the man who's doing the catering, they can identify with Rambo's frustrations, with the veteran's frustrations.
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
Now if you know what you're worth. Then go out and get what you're worth.
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
Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality if not, one has not lived.
Sylvester Stallone
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.
Sylvester Stallone
You know what I think happened? After 'Rocky,' I was almost set up in the eyes of the media to make a flop.
Sylvester Stallone
The champion's management says let's do this for real, for charity. Rocky says no but decides to be true to himself even though he's going to be berated by everyone. Just to compete, not to win.
Sylvester Stallone
When you're an actor, you're a slave to other people's visions.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful.
Sylvester Stallone
I have all kinds of chest injuries I tore my vein during 'Rocky II' and had 60 stitches. If you've seen 'Rocky Balboa,' you'll know how bad they look.
Sylvester Stallone
You have to have an almost boundless reservoir of energy and interest to enter politics because quite often it's thankless and fruitless and you can't accomplish much.
Sylvester Stallone
There might have been a period around 'Tango & Cash' when I was nearly fashionable. My problem is that my weight's always been changing for the movies I'm in.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm a big believer that, in life, we can't succeed in everything. Most times, we lose.
Sylvester Stallone
