Sylvester Stallone's quotes
- Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality; if not, one has not lived.
- 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.
- [In 1976, after completing production on Rocky II (1979)] But there'll never be a "Rocky IV." You gotta call a halt.
- I'm not right wing, I'm not left wing. I love my country.
- [1991] I'm 5'10" and weigh 177 pounds. I'm pleased with my body now.
- [Following John Ritter's death in 2003] It's a huge shock. It just makes me realize how fragile life is.
- I'm not a genetically superior person. I built my body.
- [2002] We're talking about doing another Rambo because I think it's time to combine action with politics.
- I'll just go on playing Rambo and Rocky. Both are money-making machines that can't be switched off.
- I'm a very physical person. People don't credit me with much of a brain, so why should I disillusion them?
- [1999] After I made Cop Land (1997) in which I played a timid, overweight cop, all of Hollywood turned their back. I'm surprised they even gave me this table. I'm like driftwood in here.
- I really am a manifestation of my own fantasy.
- All art, in this business, is a matter of compromise. It's not one man's vision unless he takes very weak actors.
- I'd say between 3 pm and 8 pm I look great. After that it's all downhill. Don't photograph me in the morning or you're gonna get Walter Brennan.
- No one likes to fail at anything, but I believe I'm a better person for it. I learned life's lessons. You're given certain gifts and that's what you should try to be.
- I think the people who have been so supportive and loyal will be happy with the final chapter in Rocky Balboa's life because I think we bring the character to a final and noble conclusion.
- I enjoy comedy very much, but it just wasn't right for me. Sometimes it's better to just stay focused and do what you're really passionate about.
- [on Rocky Balboa (2006) and Rambo (2008)] Maybe these movies wouldn't have been as interesting five years ago, but look what's happened in the world in that time. It's a whole different climate, now.
- [on Rhinestone (1984)] You'd have thought we all got together and decided how we could fastest ruin our careers.
- I abused my body so much throughout my career that I am literally held together by glue. The stuff I took thickens the bones and reinforces the tendons.
- [speaking of his life with a wife and three daughters] Living in a house where you are the only man is a little like being the only guy left at The Alamo. They just rule. Even our dogs are female. So there is no chance.
- During Rocky IV (1985), Dolph Lundgren had hit me so hard I had swelling around the heart and had to stay in intensive care at St. John's Hospital for four days.
- [at Rambo UK Premiere, 2008) I feel like I'm 20 again - but with arthritis!
- [on what fans can expect from The Expendables (2010)] Let's say we dug up The Wild Bunch (1969) and gave them one more shot.
- 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.
- [on the character of Rocky Balboa] I have always seen him as a 20th Century gladiator in a pair of sneakers.
- 95% of the time, women are right. They can be emotional, but when they say your shoes are shit or your tie is wrong, they're often right.
- I am under pressure to perform. If I didn't have this goal I would be more than happy to throw 25 croissants down my throat and wash it down with a pint of beer, trust me. It is very, very hard to stay in shape.
- I have become more cynical as I have got older. Everything you were promised as a young person, it doesn't really come true.
- [on Arnold Schwarzenegger] I see him every Saturday, at Café Roma in Beverly Hills. It's funny because we used to be so competitive in the Eighties and now we're the best buddies in the world.
- [on Rambo] He'd murder Jason Bourne. I'm only kidding. Maybe the other guy...the one in The Transporter (2002), Jason Statham.
- I made some truly awful movies. Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992) 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.
- [on Dolph Lundgren]: Dolph, I think, is a fantastically cooperative, excellent guy.
- [on his failed audition for a part in The Godfather (1972)] I couldn't even be an extra at the wedding, that's how far down the food chain I was.
- [on his 1980s rivalry with Arnold Schwarzenegger] He was far more diligent than me; I was too reckless. He's very machine-like and I did consider him an enemy. But, looking back, it was a good enemy.
- The one thing in my films... I only kill people that need to be killed. Let me put it this way, the ones that deserve it get it and they get it good and the ones that go after women really get it, you know what I mean? Really get it.
- I've made a lot of career mistakes - a lot! Sometimes you're making a film and you go, 'It's a turkey and it's not even Thanksgiving.' It's bad.
- I eat healthy Monday to Friday, pig out on the weekend, gain pounds, then lose it again Monday to Friday. No need to starve, or suffer!
- If politicians really told the truth they'd be fired and Washington would be an overgrown parking lot. Sad but true.
- You have to grab life by the throat and squeeze before it grabs you by your neck and breaks it. Own your destiny.
- Being ignorant is like getting dressed for Prom Night in the dark. You think you are looking good until somebody turns your lights on.
- Doing The Expendables (2010) was brutal; no time, no rest and more difficult then the last three Rambos put together.
- Halloween is the only time people can become what they want to be without getting fired.
- [on Rocky (1976)] It's a film I wanted to go to. It's an audience's inalienable right, when they go to a theater, to see something truly extraordinary, something that borders on day-dreamism.
- I like a good adversary. It makes you lose sleep and want to get up on the morning and go to the gym.
- Regular artists borrow, geniuses steal.
- [on the possibility of Mel Gibson directing The Expendables 3 (2014)] Mel is a magnificent director! Pure passion on every level. We'd be blessed to have him. A real long shot, but life is a long shot - right?
- [on gun control] I know people get upset and go, 'They're going to take away the assault weapon'. But who needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you're carrying out an assault. You can't hunt with it. Who is going to attack your house - an army?
- I turned down Witness (1985), which was great because I've never had a love affair with an Amish chick!
- [on The Expendables 3 (2014)] We're trying to make an Event Movie - like Avengers Assemble (2012). And I think we've accomplished it.
- People think it's easy to make a sequel. It's not, because you've lost the element of surprise. How do you keep putting on layers without getting too pretentious or trying too hard - you know, when in doubt, shout.
- [on The Expendables 3 (2014)] I believe we finally got it right in the third one - kind of like marriage.
- I am an artistic businessman, both. I think you have to be. It's a matter of self-preservation.
- The best thing about getting older is...nothing. There's zero good in getting older.
- [Golden Globe Award 2016, thank you speech] I wanna thank my imaginary friend Rocky Balboa, for being the best friend I ever had.
- I love Donald Trump. He's a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean? There are certain people like Arnold, Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life. But I don't know how that translates to running the world.
- (On John Huston) "There are some directors you just almost automatically jump at the chance to work with."
- We all really only want one thing. To be happy, and to achieve total fulfillment on all conscious levels.
- (If he was asked to appear in Terminator Salvation (2009)) No, that has never happened and I believe that's sacred ground for Arnold and would be an insult to encroach on his territory.
- (On which films he wished he hadn't done) Let me think...Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992), Oscar (1991), Get Carter (2000), Driven (2001), D-Tox (2002) and certainly Rhinestone (1984), which I wish had been Romancing the Stone (1984).
- (On The Lords of Flatbush (1974)_) "I have very fond memories of it. The acting was very naturalistic because we were really winging it, and I didn't know any 'cinema tricks."'
- (On F.I.S.T (1978)) A real eye-opener. That was the beginning of me understanding that I'd been typecast as Rocky (1976). F.I.S.T (1978) and Nighthawks (1981) people bring up the most as my most forgotten films."
- (On Staying Alive (1983)) "I liked John, so I thought, okay, I'll do the script. But the story was very negative - he'd gotten into drugs, his girlfriend was a prostitute. So I rewrote it from page one."
- (On Over the Top (1987)) "It was not a very good experience. It was something I shouldn't have done. It caught me at a weak moment. There was a lot of money involved. And at the time I thought I could make anything work. It was just foolish."
- (On Lock Up (1989)) "Not a film that was produced and performed with enough maturity to really make a significant impact on the audience or my career. And that's the truth."
- (Tango & Cash (1989)) "Even though it had conceptual contradictions, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience with a truly great friend in Kurt Russell."
- (1993) "Rocky V (1990) I loved. It lacked the fireworks, but it was the truthful segue into his life postfighting. Rocky I and Rocky V - I think they were good bookends."
- [in People magazine, 1985] I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.
- [on the effectiveness of celery juice] Celery's been around, let's face it, since, who knows.
- I turned down this thing called Coming Home, which eventually won Oscars for everybody. Jon Voight, about the Vietnam war, and that would have been interesting because, of course, I did Rambo. And with Coming Home you would have seen both sides.
