More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
It's funny because when Jason [Statham] was drowning I was filming with an iPhone. It may have been a bit insensitive but I just thought, you know what, this was a magic moment. And I couldn't help him anyway because I didn't want to drown.
Sylvester Stallone
I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.
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
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
Sylvester Stallone
Consider the source...Don't be a fool by listening to a fool.
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
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
I never quite understood these actors - though I envy them sometimes - who can lie out for a year or two. I feel as though time is a real pressing issue, and I want to get as much work done in the time that I have left.
Sylvester Stallone
Rocky would definitely run for councilman. Maybe mayor. But these people are actually most effective in the family unit. That's where they shine.
Sylvester Stallone
I have tremendous respect for fighters and I always tell people that boxing in movies is one thing but when you get into the ring for real, even the worst heavyweight in the world is going to murder you. You've just got to appreciate the pain and the suffering and the glory and skill that goes into what they do. That's why I love the sport so much.
Sylvester Stallone
Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but the loyalty never fades.
Sylvester Stallone
The phenomenal thing that happened to me is that I was able to create two memorable men: one is the ultimate optimist, Rocky, and then you have Rambo, the ultimate pessimist. You're going to always be remembered for them, no matter what you do.
Sylvester Stallone
There are endless exercises for arms, but the basics are best-chinups and pushups.
Sylvester Stallone
People asked if I could have played the Terminator. Are you kidding? Not a chance, I never could have played the Terminator.
Sylvester Stallone
Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job PARKING CARS!
Sylvester Stallone
You can actually alter a person's perception when they're that young. I mean, it can affect them in a very positive way.
Sylvester Stallone
It took me a long time to be convinced that marriage was right for me because I've come from a long line of broken marriages. My parents divorced, and I had two broken marriages myself.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm a big believer that, in life, we can't succeed in everything. Most times, we lose.
Sylvester Stallone
If you look at people that have survived crashing in the mountains and lived up in the snow for 40 days - it's possible to do extraordinary feats.
