I have all kinds of chest injuries; I tore my vein during 'Rocky II' and had 60 stitches. If you've seen 'Rocky Balboa,' you'll know how bad they look.

Movies are a whole different ball-game, now. It's much more of a business - very scientific.

Whenever I don't get injured, the film is a dud. I didn't bleed on 'Rhinestone.' I didn't bleed on 'Stop! Or My Mom will Shoot.'

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'm not right wing, I'm not left wing. I love my country.

Characters I've played, they used to impact my paintings, like 80 percent of the time, and especially when I was doing an action film.

The body needs to rest. It needs a lot less exercise than you think.
