When I saw 'Hercules,' my mind just exploded because I was extremely thin; I was insecure. I literally ran out of the theatre and started lifting things, anything I could think of - milk crates. I'm still lifting things. It changed my life.
From Sylvester Stallone
Today's action hero, his skills are through technology. He can fly, he can throw a bolt of lightning, he can freeze people.
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.
I respect a woman too much to marry her.
When I tried to branch out into comedy, I didn't do very well at it, so I went back to doing what I do naturally well, or what the audience expects from me - action pictures.
From the time I got dressed in the back of a deflated, flat-tired, fish-smelling station wagon for Rocky. It's always been do it yourself, kind of like paper-clip it together.
I'm pretty spiritual; I believe a lot in the spirit of man.
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.
When you're an actor, you're a slave to other people's visions.
I loved 'Rocky' and 'Rambo', and am very proud of them.
