“Rambo isn't violent. I see Rambo as a philanthropist.” (Sockman Ralph W.)

“The champion's management says let's do this for real, for charity. Rocky says no but decides to be true to himself even though he's going to be berated by everyone. Just to compete, not to win.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“Rocky is basically on his own -- it's very touching. People that were in the first one that you didn't think much about are back, really minor characters are now major characters.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“There's a computer fight between the reigning world champion and Balboa, and Balboa wins,” (Sockman Ralph W.)

“That's what interested me in the character of him. He sees things differently. He was not as connected to the community. He was a bit of an outsider, not local. It was let's coach football, take baby steps, do what we have to do. He likes to philosophize. He's got opinions on everything. He'll let me know. It's an honor to be stepping into his shoes. What he did was life inspiring things.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“I play Hank Hansen, a real guy. You'd be amazed at how much information they have on this guy: personality traits, nicknames, favorite color, you name it.” (Sockman Ralph W.)

“I find it much more interesting to concentrate on the development of [Clark] and show what happened in his life to make him the Superman that we all know him to be. To put on the cape or put on the tights and start flying around... makes things too easy for Clark.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“It's one of the best roles I've ever played,” (Sockman Ralph W.)
