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

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.

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.

I'm just trying to tell a nice story. Whether you're a writer or a producer, all you want to do is tell a good yarn.

For the good producer, raising capital is about the last thing to worry about. If you're good, the money comes very easily.

Many of the best films made about war have come out after the wars have ended. People need a period of time to reflect on them.
