"Arnold was like someone you wanted to strangle every day, like in the morning and at night. We were so competitive. He was Mr. Olympia (He won the Mr. Universe title at age 20 and went on to win the Mr. Olympia contest seven times). We came along at the same time, of course I was first but he was bigger.
"He is very smart. We became competitive and we could not be in the same room."
Stallone is best-known for his roles in the Rocky and Rambo films.
