Where did the national anthem come from

Sylvester Stallone: No, and it wasn't working. I was using the George Foreman format. He had youth center in Houston, it was going broke. Rocky had the youth center in Philly, it was going broke. He goes to the bank for a loan, goes to all these places, nothing. He says, "I'm gonna go out and do some club fights and get the money so I can pay the rent." One thing led to another until he's got 18, 19 of these fights and people are saying, "Wow, you should continue with this. " Rocky becomes a commercial commodity that someone like Don King can really sell. All Adrian did during the film was say, "Don't do this, don't do this..."

"I've done the voice for Qui-Gon Jinn in a couple of the animated versions of it. I can't remember the names of them. Myself and Sam Jackson did our Jedi knights for those. I think I did two of them. But on film, I haven't been approached, no. I haven't really been following them, to be honest. I don't know if they've come to an end.
