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.

When you're pushed killing is as easy as breathing.

I think everyone has a certain kind of formula in their life. When you deviate from that formula, you're going to fail big or you're gonna win big.

I'm more focused and have a greater sense of challenge, because I constantly feel the weight of time.

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

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."

I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.
