You have to be really loyal to the people that supported you when you were coming up.

For 'Rocky II,' I got a torn pectoral muscle, I got all beat up inside, I had to have an operation to splice things back together.

I know I'm incredibly unpredictable, and that's the only thing I'm sure of.

And if I look at my icebox, there's no way I'm sitting there looking like Gandhi. I mean, I don't have crickets in there and little green rice. No, I mean it's a pretty liberal icebox. It's all in there.

Boxing is sort of an inevitability. We know they are going to be pounding each other.

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