You have to be really loyal to the people that supported you when you were coming up.

What I'm trying to do now in my life - not just with the building, but with everything - is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won't just be ephemeral flashes in the pan.

I'm a big believer that, in life, we can't succeed in everything. Most times, we lose.

The idea of Rambo is kind of intriguing as a closing chapter. When you shoot a film as a sequel to do another sequel it's a whole other tone. But when you know it's the final chapter you try and put in there as much emotion, understanding and closure as you can. So, whereas Rocky is a lighter character and optimistic, Rambo is much darker.

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

Study people's success stories hard. Study their failures even harder.

For 'Rocky II,' I got a torn pectoral muscle, I got all beat up inside, I had to have an operation to splice things back together.
