Sometimes it seemed to me I could not look at those silent little figures; that I must go north, to the grim coal fields, to the Rocky Mountain camps, where the labor fight is at least fought by grown men.
I felt quite an affinity with ‘Rocky’ in my career. It’s been like ‘fight the business’ all the way up.
I listen to a lot of Tupac and Biggie Smalls. Old school songs. Rick Ross. I listen to a guy ASAP Rocky. I like different kinds of music. I always have. It motivates me before games… A Tupac playlist or a Meek Mill playlist. It varies.
Most times, I’m playing myself in films, like ‘Rocky’ or ‘Creed.’
I grew up in New York till I was 5, and I remember going to see ‘Annie’ and some musicals as a kid, and I remember my parents being somewhat okay with us watching ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show,’ which, it boggles my mind that they allowed me to watch it.

In school, nobody could pronounce my name. They just called me Rocky.
I know about two things: ‘Rocky III’ and Clubber Lang, and ‘A-Team’ and B.A. Baracus. That’s who I am!
The day cold and fair with a high easterly wind: we were visited by two Indians who gave us an account of the country and people near the Rocky mountains where they had been.
I personally wouldn’t want my second album to sound like my first; it might sound very rocky or hard rock – and that wouldn’t be melancholy. So if people think my music is melancholic, then so be it. It’s meant to be uplifting, and I’m just basically saying what needs to be said.
More money has been lost trying to imitate ‘Rocky’ than ‘Rocky’ has made.
Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.
My mum has lived in Australia for 22 years now, and we have a rocky relationship. But at the same time it’s one I want to maintain. I need her to be my mum. The relationship took a lot of rebuilding.
Love A$AP Rocky. I love his music, and I love his style.
It’s probably a generalisation to say this, but occasionally I’ll see a bloke who laughs only after he’s checked his girlfriend did. I tend to imagine that’s a rocky relationship, to be fair.
I first went to ‘Rocky Horror’ when I was 14, and nothing was the same after that. For about two months afterwards, I would watch that movie in my bed every night.
The phenomenal thing that happened to me is that I was able to create two memorable men: one is the ultimate optimist, Rocky, and then you have Rambo, the ultimate pessimist. You’re going to always be remembered for them, no matter what you do.
The Kuiper belt region, which I call the third zone because it lies beyond the rocky terrestrial planets and beyond the giant planets, is a bizarre frontier.
Never be discouraged. If I were sunk in the lowest pits of Nova Scotia, with the Rocky Mountains piled on me, I would hang on, exercise faith, and keep up good courage, and I would come out on top.
Venus and Mars are our next of kin: they are the two most Earth-like planets that we know about. They’re the only two other very Earth-like planets in our solar system, meaning they orbit close to the sun; they have rocky surfaces and thin atmospheres.
I’ve seen many dinosaur fossils, some mounted in museums, others in the process of being extracted from their rocky matrix, and it has never occurred to me that any could be anything other than genuine.
I feel like I have something to prove. I’m just not this cool fashion kid that be around ASAP Rocky.
When studios start telling me why a particular film project won’t work, I remember ‘Rocky.’ I remember that the biggest success Bob Chartoff and I have had was a film nobody wanted to make.
I think in ‘Rocky IV’ there are three montages with three five-minute songs, which is insane. You can’t do that today.
I’ve been cushioned against having to work, with Rocky’s continual bounty.
The Rock now the hottest thing. He come from wrestling background. Father, mother, grandfather all from wrestling business: 2-3 generations. I watch his movie. He great movie star, and I be wrestling with his father Rocky Johnson. I love them.
No doubt these rocky islands have suggested the idea worked out in gardens, and they have been well imitated.

I loved ‘Rocky’ and ‘Rambo’, and am very proud of them.
The most challenging part of playing Magenta was knowing that there have been so many great Magentas before me, including Patricia Quinn in the original ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’.
I’ve been a fan of ‘Rocky Horror’… my mom let me see it at a really early age.
Jack Johnson was the first black heavyweight champion, so I took part of his name. I admired Rocky Marciano, so I took part of his name.
I grew up doing musicals. I’ve done so many musicals in my life, I kind of got them out of my system. But, I certainly would be open to them. Rocky Horror Show is a big favorite of mine.
Storytelling is as old as speech. It existed before humans first began to carve shapes in stones and press their hands upon the rocky walls of caves.
As a child, I was fortunate enough to be close to family members who were – and still are – great storytellers. I was a gullible country boy from Rocky Mount, Virginia, and I believed every folktale they told me, no matter how fantastic.
From the time I got dressed in the back of a deflated, flat-tired, fish-smelling station wagon for Rocky. It’s always been do it yourself, kind of like paper-clip it together.

Let’s be honest: the implementation of the United and Continental merger has been rocky for customers and employees.

I’m the Rocky of MMA.
For Canelo to call me boring, I mean, is he serious with that? I mean, I’m boring but Rocky Fielding is really exciting. Yeah, sure Canelo. Liam Smith was so exciting. Everybody couldn’t wait for that.
First of all, you look at Rocky films now, and if that isn’t a cartoon series there isn’t any cartoon series. I mean there’s no way anybody is going to take that amount of punishment in fifteen rounds.
Marciano was an idol in a simpler era, when professional athletes were heroes and sportswriters were complicit in building legends rather than exposing them. To the public, all that really mattered was that Rocky had 49 wins in 49 fights and retired in 1956 as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world.
What I’ve always done in my past when life hit a rocky patch was run from trouble into the next relationship. I didn’t realise it would be such a big deal. That was foolish.
