WASHINGTON (AP) - SYLVESTER STALLONE, middle aged and married with four children, is taking stock of his life - and he doesn't like everything he sees in his past.

``Climbing that mountain of ambition, being so prolific, put the emphasis on the wrong side of my life. It didn't make me feel better,'' STALLONE said in Sunday's Parade magazine. ``Now I understand what's sacred.''

The 54-year-old creator of monosyllabic film heroes Rocky and Rambo says he prefers fatherhood to the whirlwind lifestyle he was leading a decade ago when he dated a different woman every month.

``I didn't have the extraordinary love of my wife and children. I didn't have a real home. That started to get very, very old,'' said STALLONE, who married model JENNIFER FLAVIN in 1997. ``If I were watching a home movie of my life, I would shake my head in despair and wonderment ... it's a comedy of errors.''

STALLONE's latest film, ``Driven,'' opens Friday.
