View Quote I know sometimes I act stupid and I say stupid things, but you kept me around and other people would have said "drop that bum". You give me respect. You know it's kinda hard for me to say these kinda things, cuz it ain't my way, but if I could just unzip myself and step out and be someone else, I'd wanna be you. You're all heart, Rock.

View Quote [at a press conference after the Creed-Drago fight, announcing that Rocky will give up his title to fight Drago]
Female Reporter: Rocky, is the decision final?
Rocky: Yes.
Male Reporter #1: Is this the first time the champion has given up his crown?
Rocky: I don't know about that.
Male Reporter #2: Doesn't the title matter?
Rocky: Not until this is over.
Male Reporter #3: Considering Rocky's punching power, do you still expect an easy fight?
Rimsky: Yes, of course.
Nicolai Koloff: It's a matter of size and...evolution. Isn't it, gentlemen? Drago is the most perfectly trained athlete ever. This other man has not the size, or the endurance, or the genetics to win. It's physically impossible for this little man to win. Drago...is a look at the future.
Male Reporter #4: Champ, how much are you making for this fight?
Rocky: No money. It's not about money.
[Paulie looks over to Rocky]
Female Reporter: Has the fight date been set yet?
Rocky: December 25th.
[Koloff grins]
Male Reporter #1: Why Christmas?
Rocky: That's what I was told.
Female Reporter: Where?
Rocky: ...It's in Russia.
Paulie: Are you nuts?
Male Reporter #2: Rocky, what's going on?
Koloff: We fight in Soviet Union, or we fight nowhere. Why don't you ask Drago's wife why she is afraid? Tell them, please.
Ludmilla Drago: I'm afraid for my husband's life. We have threats of violence everywhere. We're not in politics. All I want is for my husband to be safe, and to be treated fairly. You call him a killer. He's a professional fighter, not a killer. You have this belief that you are better than us. You have this belief that this country is so very good, and we are so very bad. You have this belief that you are so fair and we are so very cruel.
Koloff: It's all lies and false propaganda to support this antagonistic and violent government!
Paulie: [miffed at remark] Oh, violent? Hey, we don't keep our people behind a wall with machine guns!
Koloff: Who are you?
Paulie: Who am I? I'm...the unsilent majority, bigmouth! [tries to attack Koloff]
Koloff: Good! Yes, good! Insult us! Is more typical rude behavior towards visiting foreigners! But perhaps this simple defeat of this [points to Rocky] little so-called champion will be a perfect example of how pathetically weak your society has become. We go! [leaves press conference with Ludmilla]
