I don't fall into the physical manifestation of a man of letters. So I guess people assume the scripts are delivered to me under the door.

I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.

People assume that 'The Expendables' is old school, but it's only old school because that's the way I know how to make an action film. It's pretty real.

I thought marriage was tough. Golf's like going over Niagara Falls in a barrel! It's a psychological game that gets into your blood.

Rocky is a very predictable movie. The ending is a foregone conclusion.

I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism.

Most of the films I myself like don't do very well. Every director, he has a choice, whether to go for subtlety and try to articulate every minute detail, or to go for the broad strokes and hope that the people will fill in between the lines. I tend to go for the broader strokes.
