I could care less about being an action actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger.
Stallone is a great writer. He wrote one of the best screenplays ever written. Rocky. It is one of the biggest classics of all time. I think in the past, he was shying away from writing his own stuff, because there is a lot of pressure when you star in something that you write.
I think I had the good fortune to watch Sly the Artist [Sylvester Stallone]; to watch him in all arenas. As an actor, not many people get to see him turn that character on, they don't understand that he's playing a role.
The first time I met [Sylvester Stallone], he had golf tees up his nose. So I figured we were going to be OK.
Stallone is a pretty tough director. You don't mess with him.
