Sylvester Stallone quotes about

Everybody has anger or regret in them one way or another. They all try different things to get it out. Some people go to psychiatrists. Some paint pictures. Some people talk it out.
Quite often in acting, you have to play a certain part; you cannot speak as much as you want to speak.
Once is a man's life, for one mortal moment, he must make a grab for immorality; if not, he has not lived.
Jesus is the inspiration for anyone to go the distance.
Just because society says I'm old doesn't mean I am.
The day I can't walk is the day I quit movies.
