Sylvester Stallone Quote: “The trouble with remakes is that people fall in love with the original. It’s like peanut butter. If you try to change the taste of peanut butter, you’re in trouble.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “Rocky would definitely run for councilman. Maybe mayor. But these people are actually most effective in the family unit. That’s where they shine.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “I guess the best thing I do of all is ride. Horsemanship, I have a natural flair for it.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “In Philadelphia, there’s no delineation, they address me as Rocky, for real.

Even the Mayor goes: “It’s good to have Rocky here today.””

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “When I’m doing a movie, I eat the same thing every day. For lunch, it’s tuna salad or chicken salad and cole slaw. That’s it. For dinner it’s either veal and rice, fish and rice or steak and rice. It gets boring; boy, does it get boring.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “I want to turn my attention to movies about love relationships. Exploring the female psyche – there ought to be some interesting discoveries there. Love stories. If you do it right, people want to hear romantic dialog.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “Action is always seen as the bottom rung of thespian endeavour, that’s just the way it is.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “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.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “Action film is really easy to do, you just get in a car and smash through things and it’s called action. The real key is what happens between the action when it’s quiet. Loud is easy. Quiet, real hard.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “Certain characters, mostly heroes, have to be the straight silent type; that is part of the make-up.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “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 Quote: “I’ve always boxed a certain way. But with Rocky, the character himself had to be kind of awkward. So I had to learn to fight that way.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “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 Quote: “To know that the odds are so high that only through the perishing of your life will the minions survive, that’s love. That’s heroism.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “I think I came along at an opportune time. I don’t know if that would happen anymore, because the whole way of doing business in Hollywood has changed.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “To be really artful, though, you have to be subjective and so singular.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “I do believe that American should deal from strength.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “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.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “There aren’t a lot of opportunities for that rite of passage that makes you a man. War is one of them, and violent sports are another.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “Often people going into directing want to learn as much as they possibly can about “technique.” And I say the hell with that.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have. It’s pathetic. It really is pathetic. It’s sad. We’re living in the Dark Ages over there.”

Sylvester Stallone Quote: “People asked if I could have played the Terminator. Are you kidding? Not a chance, I never could have played the Terminator.”
