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.
giving people film
You can't give someone five hundred punches in a film anymore. You beat on them, and they continue to stand there staring at you. That doesn't work. People just don't buy that anymore.
thinking film
Film is about what you are thinking. It's about what's inside.
opportunity way film
I wanted to become an engineer, or get a masters in business. But I had the opportunity to do films when I was about 25 and it was a great way to express myself.
character style age
The acting style that has emerged from HD, because of the contrast and how sharp the picture is, it's more neutrally played. The main character is very minamalistic. That's what works in this digital age.
trying enjoy happens
I suppose I will try to enjoy my life now while I have it. Who knows what's going to happen in the future?
needs roles weight
If I need to bulk up for a role, I will do more weights. If I need to slim down for something, I will do more cardio. That's usually how it goes.
yoga breathing differences
I do a little bit of yoga-style meditation. Relaxing and breathing even just one minute a day makes a big difference.
cutting color choices
You realize as a director that when you are cutting a film, you want to have alternatives. You need color and choices. You don't want four takes that are identical.
dad father champion
My sensei was a British karate champion named Brian Fitkin. He was my mentor and because I had a hard relationship with my dad, he became a father figure to me.
art feel-good done
I train about four or five times a week. I guess I am addicted to it. I also do a lot of martial arts. More than I have done in awhile. I like to go back to martial arts because it makes me feel good.
kids school sweden
When I was a kid, I was like everyone else: afraid of getting nuked. We had drills in school - Sweden was very close to the Soviet Union. There was definitely a lot of tension.
directors tough mess
Stallone is a pretty tough director. You don't mess with him.
writing successful rambo
I like Stallone, because he writes. He sits down with a blank page and comes up with another Rambo movie. That isn't very easy for anybody. He's made it successful on top of that.
