Don't discuss your dreams. Pursue them!

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.

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.

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

Training and working in Philadelphia is a very unusual situation because that city does believe that Rocky is real. No one calls me Sylvester, it's Rocky.

I'm perceived to be this solitary character, but nothing could be further from the truth.

I'd rather do something I love badly than to feel bad about not doing something I love.
