When I'm doing a movie, I eat the same thing every day. For lunch, it's tuna salad or chicken salad and cole slaw. That's it. For dinner it's either veal and rice, fish and rice or steak and rice. It gets boring; boy, does it get boring.

Don't be gullible, use life before it uses you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there's a reaction.

I think people of all occupations, whether it's the camera - puller or the man who's doing the catering, they can identify with Rambo's frustrations, with the veteran's frustrations.

Movies are the work of a collective conscious. It takes 500-800 people on a movie to complete a vision.

I realized, the older I get, the more difficult life becomes. It's not easier, it's more difficult.

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

In Philadelphia, there's no delineation, they address me as Rocky, for real. They'll say things like: "Rocky, do you like this coat?" Or: "Rock, say hi to my sister." Or: "Yo Rock, I know a great restaurant." There's no Sylvester. Even the Mayor goes: "It's good to have Rocky here today."
