[Sylvester] Stallone and I were in a meeting for Rocky Balboa. We were laughing about something, and he looks at my mouth and says to the casting director, "Wow, your lip even hooks down like mine does. " Then he looked at the casting director and nodded, and I guess that was the nod of saying, "Hire this kid. " So yeah, I have a really crooked mouth. They don't work, but I can feel everything.
It's an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.
