"Hercules O’Clock"
Stallone on "Hercules O’Clock": "This painting is really special because it represents what I was feeling as a young man. I was looking for a role model. One day I went to see -- I think I was 12 years old -- “Hercules,” with Steve Reeves. All of a sudden I saw something that ended up changing my entire life. I said, 'That is the male image I want to be. That is something that will make me forget who I am.' So I did, I changed my physique, I did everything. Yet, as I got older, I realized that Hercules isn’t really Hercules. He isn’t that man, the character I was playing -- the superstar. Superheroes are sometimes very, very self-destructive. But for a very brief time they burn bright and look invincible, but -- nothing’s invincible."
