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.

More quotes by 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
Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but the loyalty never fades.
Sylvester Stallone
No one's life is totally morbid. Even on a subtle scale there's little flashes of enlightenment and of happiness and joy.
Sylvester Stallone
I tell people diets don't work. And I don't care what they say. I have tried them all.
Sylvester Stallone
The only thing that I haven't done is perform brain surgery on myself. I've been very, very lucky. I've spared Shakespeare undue stress by not doing that.
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
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Sylvester Stallone
I have tons of regrets, but I think that's one of the reasons that push people to create things. Out of their angst, their regret, comes the best from artists, painters and writers.
Sylvester Stallone
Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older.
Sylvester Stallone
I love being so tight on people in close-ups that the veins in their eyes look like the Mississippi River.
Sylvester Stallone
Action film is really easy to do, you just get in a car and smash through things and it's called action. The real key is what happens between the action when it's quiet. Loud is easy. Quiet, real hard.
Sylvester Stallone
Early on everyone should do, every time they do a big film, they should do a little film. It really does keep you grounded.
Sylvester Stallone
That's what Rocky is all about: pride, reputation, and not being another bum in the neighborhood.
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
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 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
To me, the most perfect screenplay ever written will be one word, when you finally reduce it down to that. Until then, writing will be an imperfect form of communication.
Sylvester Stallone
I loved 'Rocky' and 'Rambo', and am very proud of them.
Sylvester Stallone
I have a fear of heights that borders on mania.
Sylvester Stallone
Every morning, I crawl out of bed. I sit there and think, 'Do I really need this?' And I drag myself to the gym in my garage. It's not fun. I hate it. I work out alone. Weights.
Sylvester Stallone
