I loved 'Rocky' and 'Rambo', and am very proud of them.

Through failure, I found different ways to reverse my problems and get into the mainstream of Hollywood.

I was on cruise control from '85 to '95, and it was my fault. There were a lot of self-inflicted wounds, when I was not doing any original material. I wasn't directing. I wasn't writing. That's not who I am.

I really am a manifestation of my own fantasy.

Lighting can bring out certain contours in the body, in the face, in the eyes, that otherwise flat lighting couldn't.

I'm the Hiroshima of love.

Every rep I did on chin-ups, on squats with 500 pounds, I never said, to myself, 'Oh, my God, another rep.' I said, 'Yes, another rep, because that will make my dream turn into a reality.'
