He added,
“So now I’m really focusing on what’s important, like time. Yeah, my wife, my family. I just feel as though I’m really focused, like priorities are right, and then you can just work free. Because, you know, everyone is being, as I say, serviced correctly and given a lot of attention.”
This approach reflects Stallone’s deep commitment to nurturing both his personal life and professional projects.
