I love being so tight on people in close-ups that the veins in their eyes look like the Mississippi River.

Action is always seen as the bottom rung of thespian endeavour, that's just the way it is.

I respect a woman too much to marry her.

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

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.

I never started out to be an action actor. I was an ensemble actor. "Rocky" was an ensemble film. "F.I.S.T." was an ensemble. "Paradise Alley" was an ensemble.

I have made a lot of career mistakes, a lot and I have made a lot of personal ones too!
