People Like To Lay Their Whole Life,

Sports Became A Way For Me To Find My Personality And Identity In Life. I Had A Lot Of Problems As A Young Kid Like We All Do With My Own Confidence, Trying To Grow Up, And Become A Man And Whatnot. Sports Helped Me Get There. It Helped Me Get My Role In Rocky Iv. It Has Helped Me Ever Since In My Movies And Dealing With A Lot Of Hard Times Between Pictures And My Life.

I Think We Are Affected So Much By Mythical Stories And Biblical Stories, Our Society Being Based On The Bible - At Least The Old Society Is Based On Biblical Terms And Laws - That There's More Of It In Art Than People Realize.

Everybody's Life Has Some Mythical Quality. You Struggle Against Obstacles, You Fight To Get To A Higher Level And There Are Great Loves.
