More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.
Sylvester Stallone
Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.
Sylvester Stallone
You've got to show your soul otherwise you're just a piece of equipment.
Sylvester Stallone
I really have very little aspirations about acting because I think that probably the best things have come and gone. I would like to focus on writing and directing. I love writing and directing even though writing can be incredibly painful and lonely. I get great satisfaction from doing it.
Sylvester Stallone
That's what Rocky is all about: pride, reputation, and not being another bum in the neighborhood.
Sylvester Stallone
I made some truly awful movies. 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot' was the worst. If you ever want someone to confess to murder just make him or her sit through that film. They will confess to anything after 15 minutes.
Sylvester Stallone
When I saw 'Hercules,' my mind just exploded because I was extremely thin I was insecure. I literally ran out of the theatre and started lifting things, anything I could think of - milk crates. I'm still lifting things. It changed my life.
Sylvester Stallone
I respect a woman too much to marry her.
Sylvester Stallone
When life hits you pretty hard, you can go into a dark corner.
Sylvester Stallone
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.
Sylvester Stallone
Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but the loyalty never fades.
Sylvester Stallone
And if I look at my icebox, there's no way I'm sitting there looking like Gandhi. I mean, I don't have crickets in there and little green rice. No, I mean it's a pretty liberal icebox. It's all in there.
Sylvester Stallone
The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end.
Sylvester Stallone
I've kind of fashioned my life after a Slinky. Bend me in a million shapes, and eventually I'll spring back to what I originally was.
Sylvester Stallone
The only happy artist is a dead artist, because only then you can't change. After I die, I'll probably come back as a paintbrush.
Sylvester Stallone
Painting is as close as a person can get to actually capturing the heat of the moment.
Sylvester Stallone
Most of the films I myself like don't do very well. Every director, he has a choice, whether to go for subtlety and try to articulate every minute detail, or to go for the broad strokes and hope that the people will fill in between the lines. I tend to go for the broader strokes.
Sylvester Stallone
If you express yourself too much, you're considered weak.
Sylvester Stallone
I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.
Sylvester Stallone
Don't be gullible, use life before it uses you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there's a reaction.
