Quotations by Sylvester Stallone:
"That's what Rocky (1976) is all about: pride, reputation, and not being another bum in the neighborhood."
"I'm not handsome in the classical sense. The eyes droop, the mouth is crooked, the teeth aren't straight, the voice sounds like a Mafioso pallbearer, but somehow it all works."
"I respect a woman too much to marry her."
"Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality; if not, one has not lived."
"I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat."
Explaining to 'The New York Times' on how he wrote the script for Rocky (1976) in three days: "I'm astounded by people who take 18 years to write something. That's how long it took that guy [Gustave Flaubert] to write 'Madame Bovary.' And was that ever on the best-seller list? No. It was a lousy book and it made a lousy movie."
"I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking."
In 1976, after completing production on "Rocky II": "But there'll never be a 'Rocky IV.' You gotta call a halt."
"I've been involved in something which was chaotic and insane. All I can say now is that I am, and intend to stay, a single man."
"I'm not right wing, I'm not left wing. I love my country."
"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."
On Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign for Governor of California in 2003: "I think it's very dangerous waters. In that particular field you can't yell 'action' and 'cut' and 'take two' and 'take three'. I personally think actors should remain actors, but I know he's always had blind ambition for that, so maybe it'll work out for him."
"Like I said, I've got too much respect for women to marry them, but that doesn't mean you can't support them emotionally and financially."
Following the murder of Phil Hartman in 1998: "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. It has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, it's ending, it's over, all bets are off.' It's not two hundred years ago, we don't need this any more, and the rest of the world doesn't have it. Why should we?"
"Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality; if not, one has not lived."
"I had no idea Ellen [Barkin] was in the restaurant. If she was coughing or dying, she was doing it politely. I would have been more than happy to reach down her throat or squeeze her hard. Sat there dumbfounded? Please! I would have rallied round - just to avoid paying the bill."
"Real love is when you become selfless and you are more concerned about your mate's or children's egos than your own. You're now a giver instead of a taker."
"I'm five foot ten and weigh 177 pounds. I'm pleased with my body now." (1991)
"People accept Rocky Balboa as authentic. I can't tell you how many people have come up to me and asked about my boxing career. It's like they really want to believe that Rocky exists. You know, I'm amazed by all of this. At one time I thought people would get over their fascination with the character and move on. Didn't happen. After thirty years, Rocky has taken hold to a degree I never could have imagined."
