boxing cameras film
When I got cast in 'Rocky IV,' I had never seen a film camera before. And here I was in this boxing movie.

Your body's made to run, to walk, to trek long distances and carry things, work in a forest, and hunt animals. You have to keep it alive to function.

Jackie Chan, I've known him, he's a great guy. I know he's very watchable and fun. He's perfect, actually.

Having bodyguards is just part of being famous, I think.
character men interesting
Because he's a character who's looking for his own identity, [He-Man is] an interesting role for an actor.
actors done cages
Nicolas Cage is a great actor and he's done some good action movies too.
character frustration inner-demons
I prefer to channel my problems and inner demons through a character. Another persona. That protects me and my family. I can get my frustrations out that way.
stars writing past
Stallone is a great writer. He wrote one of the best screenplays ever written. Rocky. It is one of the biggest classics of all time. I think in the past, he was shying away from writing his own stuff, because there is a lot of pressure when you star in something that you write.
hero character play
As a hero, you have to play it straight. The audience is going to live through you, so you have to be more neutral. They will be projecting their thoughts and their actions onto the main character.
hero bigger paychecks
You get a bigger paycheck if you are the hero. There is something good about it.
fun personality sticks
I like being the villian. I don't know if it has to do with my personality. You get to have a lot more fun as a villian. You don't have to stick to the rules. You can be a lot crazier. You can go off the rails.
believe thinking people
People like to lay their whole life, and all of their own secrets out in front of the world. They make money off of it, and find satisfaction that way. I personally don't believe in that. I think it can be hurtful to yourself and those around you.
real editing editors
When you are acting in a film, you have no idea what scene the editor is going to choose. For instance, after you have directed, you feel more comfortable delivering a performance. Because you know the real performance is put together in the editing room.
