When you're younger you just want to go out and make your mark in the world and doing that, quite often, the people that you love the most and the people you should be closest to suffer from estrangement. I'd be gone nine months a year, so how do you know anyone? When you come home you are a stranger.

When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals.

I loved 'Rocky' and 'Rambo', and am very proud of them.

People don't realize that when they 'throw out' their back, it's often because of weak abs. These muscles are essential for lower-back strength and good posture.

There aren't a lot of opportunities for that rite of passage that makes you a man. War is one of them, and violent sports are another.

At the end of the day, 'Rocky' is a love story, and he could never have reached the final bell without Adrian.

I don't fall into the physical manifestation of a man of letters. So I guess people assume the scripts are delivered to me under the door.
