The phenomenal thing that happened to me is that I was able to create two memorable men: one is the ultimate optimist, Rocky, and then you have Rambo, the ultimate pessimist. You're going to always be remembered for them, no matter what you do.

I try to eliminate as much dialogue as possible, and I guess Rambo is my really best experiment with how to eliminate dialogue.

I'm always looking for a new challenge. There are a lot of mountains to climb out there. When I run out of mountains, I'll build a new one.

Playing polo is like trying to play golf during an earthquake.

In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can't control a nine-year-old girl.

Consider the source...Don't be a fool by listening to a fool.

Early on everyone should do, every time they do a big film, they should do a little film. It really does keep you grounded.
