You know you've been around when they start to remake your own movies when you're still alive.

When you're an actor, you're a slave to other people's visions.

Some people maybe try to justify their laziness. You take out what you put in and the more I go to church and the more I turn myself over to the process of believing in Jesus, and to listening to his word and have him guide my hand I feel the pressure's off me.

Sometimes worst enemies like a Mohammed Ali and Joe Frazier that's what makes you fight so hard. Without them they never would have achieved greatness.

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.

Painting is as close as a person can get to actually capturing the heat of the moment.

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