Clichés are what good writing is all about. Because our lives are basically clichés.

I try to eliminate as much dialogue as possible, and I guess Rambo is my really best experiment with how to eliminate dialogue.

Time is truly the great enemy. It's not the great healer, it's the great stealer.

The one thing in my films, I only kill people who need to be killed, or killers killing killers. And I believe that the violence is very justifiable.

If I'd succeeded right away at acting I wouldn't have sought out writing.

I think everyone has questions in their mind. Did they do their very best?

Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job PARKING CARS!
