You have to have an almost boundless reservoir of energy and interest to enter politics because quite often it's thankless and fruitless and you can't accomplish much.

I loved 'Rocky' and 'Rambo', and am very proud of them.

Rocky would definitely run for councilman. Maybe mayor. But these people are actually most effective in the family unit. That's where they shine.

I respect a woman too much to marry her.

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.

To be really artful, though, you have to be subjective and so singular.

Sometimes worst enemies like a Mohammed Ali and Joe Frazier that's what makes you fight so hard. Without them they never would have achieved greatness.
