as for Stallone, he is one of the smarter guys that everyone thinks is dumb as a brick.

He WROTE "Rocky". I don't think Bette Midler could have written "The Rose" or Barbra Streisand "Funny Girl".

Agreed.

I’ve heard through a friend who works in hollywood that it needed a bunch of touching up but who knows if it’s true and who cares?

He knows how to tap emotions...and there’s a lot of money in that in the movies.

And his speech to his son in “Rocky Balboa” has helped me out of the self pity trap more times than I can count.

It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!

That’s a piece of it :) The whole speech is brilliant.
