Rocky is basically on his own -- it's very touching. People that were in the first one that you didn't think much about are back, really minor characters are now major characters.
If you think people are inherently good, you get rid of the police for 24 hours - see what happens.
Rocky would definitely run for councilman. Maybe mayor. But these people are actually most effective in the family unit. That's where they shine.
I try to tell people that just because you're buff and cut doesn't mean you're healthy.
When you're younger you just want to go out and make your mark in the world and doing that, quite often, the people that you love the most and the people you should be closest to suffer from estrangement. I'd be gone nine months a year, so how do you know anyone? When you come home you are a stranger.

[...] The irony is most people know what to do, they just don't do what they know.
Often people going into directing want to learn as much as they possibly can about "technique." And I say the hell with that.
Study people's success stories hard. Study their failures even harder.
The trouble with remakes is that people fall in love with the original. It's like peanut butter. If you try to change the taste of peanut butter, you're in trouble.
People asked if I could have played the Terminator. Are you kidding? Not a chance, I never could have played the Terminator.
