No one's life is totally morbid. Even on a subtle scale there's little flashes of enlightenment and of happiness and joy.

To know that the odds are so high that only through the perishing of your life will the minions survive, that's love. That's heroism.

Rocky would definitely run for councilman. Maybe mayor. But these people are actually most effective in the family unit. That's where they shine.

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.

I wanted to show I had balls at age 60. Just because society says I'm old, doesn't mean that I am. I'm pursuing happiness, even if it makes the people around me unhappy.

If bad decorating was a hanging offense, there'd be bodies hanging from every tree!

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.
