More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
Through failure, I found different ways to reverse my problems and get into the mainstream of Hollywood.
Sylvester Stallone
There is an age-old proverb that really does hold true in every area of life - in relations between nations and right down to the most subtle and sophisticated or must unstable and unsophisticated relations between lovers - and it is this: they took kindness for weakness.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm a patriot of the heart.
Sylvester Stallone
On the sequel, you've lost the element of surprise. Usually, on the first one you may not go very, very deep into character the second one you start to explore the character a bit more.
Sylvester Stallone
Movies are a collective art. Art by proxy.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm not right wing, I'm not left wing. I love my country.
Sylvester Stallone
I was on cruise control from '85 to '95, and it was my fault. There were a lot of self-inflicted wounds, when I was not doing any original material. I wasn't directing. I wasn't writing. That's not who I am.
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
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
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 think that's become passe, but if you can surround yourself with a kind of monument to yourself and your family - a statement - and you can afford it, then that's a noble project.
Sylvester Stallone
I think there's a kind of built-in arrogance to anyone who considers themself an artist. They want to feel as though like they can run the whole spectrum. I can do it all. I can do minimalism, and I can do classical art. Well, that's not true.
Sylvester Stallone
The world meets nobody halfway. When you want something, you gotta take it.
Sylvester Stallone
I just fight in my movies, never in real life.
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
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
The character of Rocky was built on the idea that he was chosen to do something. That's why the first image in Rocky is the picture of Christ.
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
Polo is like tennis - you literally have to live it.
Sylvester Stallone
Usually whenever you're scared of something, do it. If you're not afraid of it, don't do it.
Sylvester Stallone
