Mike made a mistake making 'Rocky' and unleashing me to the public,

'Rocky' represents the optimistic side of life, and 'Rambo' represents purgatory.

That's what Rocky is all about: pride, reputation, and not being another bum in the neighborhood.

I have all kinds of chest injuries; I tore my vein during 'Rocky II' and had 60 stitches. If you've seen 'Rocky Balboa,' you'll know how bad they look.

You know what I think happened? After 'Rocky,' I was almost set up in the eyes of the media to make a flop.

At the end of the day, 'Rocky' is a love story, and he could never have reached the final bell without Adrian.
