It wasn't easy getting 'GoodFellas' started.

The day I make movies that Rupert Murdoch likes and admires is the day I'll throw in the towel, because he's got no taste.

When studios start telling me why a particular film project won't work, I remember 'Rocky.' I remember that the biggest success Bob Chartoff and I have had was a film nobody wanted to make.

More money has been lost trying to imitate 'Rocky' than 'Rocky' has made.

When James Bond gets old, you get rid of him and bring a new James Bond in.

Usually when you have a sequel, the character always stays the same and that's true basically of 'Rocky III,' 'IV' and 'V.' He didn't really change.
