To a person sitting quietly at home, Rocky Mountain traveling, like Rocky Mountain scenery, must seem very monotonous; but not so to me, to whom the pure, dry mountain air is the elixir of life.

Cole Archer’s Chillout Mix. That’s my son’s mix. He’s ten weeks old, and this is what he listens to: ‘Valerie’ by Amy Winehouse, ‘Everyday People‘ by Arrested Development, The Beatles‘ ‘Rocky Raccoon,’ and Bruce Springsteen‘s ‘Atlantic City.’

That’s what Rocky is all about: pride, reputation, and not being another bum in the neighborhood.

Sylvester Stallone

Ryan Coogler

Going jogging makes me feel powerful and free – like Rocky!

Trey Burke

Crazy Arms‘ is one of those songs that can get crushed beneath its own weight. It’s kind of like ‘Orange Blossom Special’ or ‘Rocky Top’ or ‘Crazy.’ But when you go back to the original interpretation, you hear it in a new way.

Gavin Esler

I like A$AP Rocky and his stuff – Kendrick too.

Freddie Gibbs

D. B. Sweeney

If you are going to describe the history of animation, you’d look at the early Disney work, then ‘Bugs Bunny,’ ‘Road Runner‘ and other Warner Brothers theatrical productions. But when you got to ‘Rocky and Bullwinkle,’ you’d see they were unique: They assumed you had a brain in your head.

Ray Bradbury

I really think that Steven Caple, Jr. is going to be a great addition to the ‘Rocky’ director pantheon.

I grew up in the neighborhood where ‘Rocky’ came from.

Richard O’Brien

I like money but I love performance art and it goes hand in hand. I’m not the ‘Titanic,’ I’m ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show.’ I’m not a blockbuster, I’m a cult classic. I think my strong but cult-like fanbase expects me to challenge norms.

Sharon Needles

Early in the 1990s, I flew alone in a dandelion-yellow, single-engine, 180-horsepower Piper Cherokee from Westchester County Airport in New York westward to the Rocky Mountains, landing and refuelling a good many times in middle-sized cities and towns along the way.

Cynthia Ozick

‘The Rocky Horror Show’ was actually my first musical love.

Jennifer Saunders

After a casual listen, it might be easy to lump Rocky Votolato in with the downtrodden likes of Conor Oberst and Elliott Smith.

Anthony Fantano

Simon Helberg

Life’s not so rocky now. It was very volatile when you’re young: you’ve got no experience. Your sense of disappointment is far greater; your sense of success is overwhelming. And then you’ve got the emotional conflict within any group that you’re not mature enough to deal with until you get older. It levels out.

Ian Gillan

I don’t think ‘Freak Dance‘ is a parody; it’s more reference than anything. People don’t think of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ as a ‘Frankenstein‘ parody. It’s kind of like that.

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

Robert Goulet

Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.

William Shakespeare

Living here in southern California, I’ll miss hearing Rocky Top for an entire week at the end of December. I was actually looking forward to it. Tennessee has a better fight song than Nebraska.

Gail Porter

More money has been lost trying to imitate ‘Rocky’ than ‘Rocky’ has made.
