In The Normal Life Of An Actor

I Was This Swedish Kid Who Came Over Here To Study Engineering, But I Got Into Movies, And Suddenly I'm In This 'rocky' Picture With Sylvester Stallone. And Then The Movie Comes Out, And It's A Big Hit, And I'm Famous. Like, World Famous. I Wasn't Thinking Of Ruling Hollywood; I Was Thinking Of Just Trying To Make It To The Next Day, Trying To Figure Out What The Hell Happened.

I Wanted To Become An Engineer, Or Get A Masters In Business. But I Had The Opportunity To Do Films When I Was About 25 And It Was A Great Way To Express Myself.

I Would Think That The Drumstick Is Probably Pretty Good. Because You Can Put That Anywhere. If You Are A Strong Guy, You Can Put It In The Throat, The Nose, The Mouth, The Ear. It's Also Easily Concealed. The Guitar Is Pretty Good, But You Have To Break It. And That's Pretty Difficult.

Sports Became A Way For Me To Find My Personality And Identity In Life. I Had A Lot Of Problems As A Young Kid Like We All Do With My Own Confidence, Trying To Grow Up, And Become A Man And Whatnot. Sports Helped Me Get There. It Helped Me Get My Role In Rocky Iv. It Has Helped Me Ever Since In My Movies And Dealing With A Lot Of Hard Times Between Pictures And My Life. I Would Say It's The One Thing That's Kept Me Going Over The Years.

I'm Not Doing Any Crazy Stuff Any More. Like I Used To Do High Falls; I Used To Jump From The Motorcycle To The Truck Myself. That's Unheard Of Today. Now Nobody Would Ever Do That. In Those Days It Was Stupid, Man. I Just Did It Because That's What It Was, But That I Don't Do Anymore.
