In the December 2006 issue of Premiere magazine there’s a nice profile of Sly by Pat Jordan and photos by Gregg Segal.
Here are a couple of excerpts:
* “Rocky has always been a guy who’s about giving and receiving pain, purging old pain with new.”
* When Stallone talks about his latest film, he does so with the same “raging” enthusiasm he always has.
* “Exercise is my salvation, my discipline.”
* “I realized I was cast as Rocky forever. I took it the wrong way and shouldn’t have worked so hard against it. You can’t be better than you are as an actor. I can’t play Shakespeare.”
* “I shoulda just gradually evolved as an actor over the years, like Clint Eastwood. But Rocky took away my opportunity to peak.”
The December issue of Premiere is on stands now everywhere! It is well worth seeking out! – Craig
