Everyone has this conjecture that action films are somewhat less prestigious than dramatic films. Nothing could be further from the truth. I've done them both and this is hard and dangerous.

More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
Through failure, I found different ways to reverse my problems and get into the mainstream of Hollywood.
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
Making a movie is the same as an orchestra it's moving all the different instruments and the sounds, the kinetic and the auditory and the visual all together. I'm probably the trombone.
Sylvester Stallone
Every time I've failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.
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
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
I loved 'Rocky' and 'Rambo', and am very proud of them.
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
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
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.
Sylvester Stallone
A lot of time people are like, oh my God, you're stereotyped. Good, then you're known for something.
Sylvester Stallone
Rocky is a very predictable movie. The ending is a foregone conclusion.
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
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
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 love being so tight on people in close-ups that the veins in their eyes look like the Mississippi River.
Sylvester Stallone
Dreams cost nothing. They are free. The hard part is just keeping them going.
Sylvester Stallone
The church is the gym of the soul.
Sylvester Stallone
Clichés are what good writing is all about. Because our lives are basically clichés.
