When I Got Cast In 'rocky Iv,'

Film Is About What You Are Thinking. It's About What's Inside.

You Know, Some Of The Action Stuff, I Tend To Have A Pretty Good Sense Of Humor About It. Even When I Direct And Have A Lot Of Pressure, It Teaches Me To Laugh At Stuff. I Think That Comes Also From Sports, From Combat Sports, Where You've Got To Learn To Laugh At It And Take It In Stride. Otherwise, You Just Can't Deal With It.

My Dad Was In The Swedish Armed Forces, He Was Always Reading Up On Different Weapons From The Americans And Soviets. When I Was A Kid, I Was In Bed Looking At His Books, Reading About The Red Army. So I Was Very Aware Of It. I Had An Interest In Military Matters Ever Since.

I Discovered Martial Arts, First Judo And Then Karate.

In The Normal Life Of An Actor Or Director, Running Around, There's Not Much Time To Go To Church. But There's Other Ways To Be Spiritual, Too.
