The only thing that I haven't done is perform brain surgery on myself. I've been very, very lucky. I've spared Shakespeare undue stress by not doing that.

More quotes by Sylvester Stallone
In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can't control a nine-year-old girl.
Sylvester Stallone
That's what Rocky is all about: pride, reputation, and not being another bum in the neighborhood.
Sylvester Stallone
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Sylvester Stallone
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.
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
I'm usually taken for a non-intellectual, a person of limited intelligence. I don't know why, but I figure it's because physically I don't look intelligent.
Sylvester Stallone
It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.
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
Boxing is sort of an inevitability. We know they are going to be pounding each other.
Sylvester Stallone
When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals.
Sylvester Stallone
You are what you leave behind.
Sylvester Stallone
I'm always looking for a new challenge. There are a lot of mountains to climb out there. When I run out of mountains, I'll build a new one.
Sylvester Stallone
I'd rather do something I love badly than to feel bad about not doing something I love.
Sylvester Stallone
I am a sensitive writer, actor and director. Talking business disgusts me. If you want to talk business, call my disgusting personal manager.
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 love art more than anything in the world except for my family.
Sylvester Stallone
Some people maybe try to justify their laziness. You take out what you put in and the more I go to church and the more I turn myself over to the process of believing in Jesus, and to listening to his word and have him guide my hand I feel the pressure's off me.
Sylvester Stallone
Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!
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
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
