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
When people meet me they’re often surprised. I talk a great deal.
Sylvester Stallone
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.
Sylvester Stallone
We follow a certain pattern, a maze, if you will, every day, tracing our steps into certain districts and neighborhoods and back home. So it's easy for people to relate to clichés. That's why comedy routines are based on mutual experiences of clichés.
Sylvester Stallone
A lot of guys don't want to admit that they have a propensity for generosity and for violence.
Sylvester Stallone
I understand that a lot of other actors don't have a choice. They have to eat so they need to work and they'll do films that they're not so proud of. But I've been fortunate enough to be given a second wind, so I try to pick projects I know will provide the audience the kind of escapism they want from me.
Sylvester Stallone
If you come into my house, I'm going to fight much more viciously to get you out than if we were on a neutral piece of land.
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
I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.
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
To be really artful, though, you have to be subjective and so singular.
Sylvester Stallone
I could start a war in 30 seconds. But some countries spend 100 years trying to find peace. Just like good manners, peace has to be learned.
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
Now it really is, believe it or not, 90% of the films are green lit, not by the studio heads, but by the marketing department.
Sylvester Stallone
I have a fear of heights that borders on mania.
Sylvester Stallone
Eventually writing became more interesting to me than acting.
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
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
Characters I've played, they used to impact my paintings, like 80 percent of the time, and especially when I was doing an action film.
Sylvester Stallone
Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older.
Sylvester Stallone
Boxing is sort of an inevitability. We know they are going to be pounding each other.
