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.

'Rocky' represents the optimistic side of life, and 'Rambo' represents purgatory.

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 really am a manifestation of my own fantasy.

I guess the best thing I do of all is ride. Horsemanship, I have a natural flair for it.

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.

When people meet me they’re often surprised. I talk a great deal.
