Sylvester Stallone

"I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey."

"I made some truly awful movies. 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot' was the worst. If you ever want someone to confess to murder just make him or her sit through that film. They will confess to anything after 15 minutes."

"I respect a woman too much to marry her."

"I try to combine in my paintings cinematic feeling, emotional feeling, and sometimes actually writing on the page to combine all the different elements of communication."

"I want to turn my attention to movies about love relationships. Exploring the female psyche - there ought to be some interesting discoveries there. Love stories. If you do it right, people want to hear romantic dialog."

"In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can't control a nine-year-old girl."

"It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful."

"Life is more than sunglasses and hit movies. Reality - that's the main event."

"Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure."

"Suddenly I've got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art."

"There's a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone."

"Years ago I was diagnosed with a condition, and my doctors prescribed human growth hormone and testosterone for its treatment. Under medical supervision, I have continued to use both medications."
