I've been involved in something which was chaotic and insane. All I can say now is that I am, and intend to stay, a single man.

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.

The older I get the more things I gotta leave behind.

I never quite understood these actors - though I envy them sometimes - who can lie out for a year or two. I feel as though time is a real pressing issue, and I want to get as much work done in the time that I have left.

I realized, the older I get, the more difficult life becomes. It's not easier, it's more difficult.

My life has always been chaotic. From the time I got dressed in the back of a deflated, flat-tired, fish-smelling station wagon for Rocky. It's always been do it yourself, kind of like paper-clip it together.

The character of Rocky was built on the idea that he was chosen to do something. That's why the first image in Rocky is the picture of Christ.
