Sylvester Stallone quotes about
I really am a manifestation of my own fantasy.
Study people's success stories hard. Study their failures even harder.
Without the church it's like having a boat without the rudder. You think you can do it on your own and this may sound pedestrian or trite but I'll equate it to this: all my life I've been involved with exercise but no matter how much - and I know a great deal about the body - you need help. You need a trainer. You need to go to a gym and you need to have the expertise and the guidance of someone else. You cannot train yourself. I feel the same way about Christianity and what the church is. The church is the gym of the soul.
I have two lovely sons and some good memories, but I've had a rather tumultuous personal life. It hasn't been dull; I've been the Hiroshima of love.
I have a fear of heights that borders on mania.
I consider myself something of a raconteur. I have a rather audacious sense of humour.
For 'Rocky II,' I got a torn pectoral muscle, I got all beat up inside, I had to have an operation to splice things back together.
I loved 'Rocky' and 'Rambo', and am very proud of them.
In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can't control a nine-year-old girl.
I love being verbal in films.
In a contest between me and a bulldog, you would say the bulldog is cuter.
If you look at people that have survived crashing in the mountains and lived up in the snow for 40 days - it's possible to do extraordinary feats.
I've had a lot of operations. I'm kind of like Franken-actor.
Through failure, I found different ways to reverse my problems and get into the mainstream of Hollywood.
