What is Sylvester Stallone known for?
Look, I ain't no Shakespeare, but I made characters that people connect with. Rocky, John Rambo – these guys are more than just muscle. They're about the everyday fight, the struggle to get up when you're knocked down. Rocky, that was the dream, right? I wrote it myself, put every ounce of my guts into it. We were nobodies, and that movie became Best Picture. It proved that if you got the heart, you can make some noise. It's about that fire inside, that refusal to quit even when the whole world says you're a bum. That's what these characters represent.
