More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job PARKING CARS!
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
Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.
Sylvester Stallone
I just fight in my movies, never in real life.
Sylvester Stallone
I'd rather do something I love badly than to feel bad about not doing something I love.
Sylvester Stallone
I tell people diets don't work. And I don't care what they say. I have tried them all.
Sylvester Stallone
If you express yourself too much, you're considered weak.
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
Some actors are brilliant character guys. They submerge.
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
You cannot train yourself. I feel the same way about Christianity and about what the church is: The church is the gym of the soul.
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
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
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
Consider the source...Don't be a fool by listening to a fool.
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
Boxing is sort of an inevitability. We know they are going to be pounding each other.
Sylvester Stallone
The world meets nobody halfway. When you want something, you gotta take it.
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.
Sylvester Stallone
When I was a kid, my mother used to feed me mashed-potato sandwiches, brussel sprout sandwiches my brain cells were starving from lack of food. I'll eat anything. I'll eat dirt.
Sylvester Stallone
