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.

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.

I think kids growing up, if they were picked on and feeling inferior at 12, they're going to feel that way at 72. You just deal with it better. I'm serious.

Through failure, I found different ways to reverse my problems and get into the mainstream of Hollywood.

I love art more than anything in the world except for my family.

I think I'd like to be remembered as someone who beat the odds through just plain determination. ... that I persevered. Because I think that being somewhat of a pest to life, constantly plaguing and pursuing, will bring results.

When you're scared, when you're hanging on, when life is hurting you, then you're going to see what you're really made of.

Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.

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.

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.

You have to have an almost boundless reservoir of energy and interest to enter politics because quite often it's thankless and fruitless and you can't accomplish much.
Sylvester Stallone
Image
I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.
Sylvester Stallone
Image
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.

People asked if I could have played the Terminator. Are you kidding? Not a chance, I never could have played the Terminator.

If it's not broken, break it. That's how new discoveries are made. That's why everything that changes life is called a breakthrough.

Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!

Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.

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.

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.
