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.

Movies are a whole different ball-game, now. It's much more of a business - very scientific.

Once I stopped trying to always do everything my way, and once I asked for God's help, things have truly gone a different direction.

When I tried to branch out into comedy, I didn't do very well at it, so I went back to doing what I do naturally well, or what the audience expects from me - action pictures.

In Philadelphia, there's no delineation, they address me as Rocky, for real. They'll say things like: "Rocky, do you like this coat?" Or: "Rock, say hi to my sister." Or: "Yo Rock, I know a great restaurant." There's no Sylvester. Even the Mayor goes: "It's good to have Rocky here today."

Rambo isn't violent. I see Rambo as a philanthropist.

Movies are a collective art. Art by proxy.
