Sylvester Stallone talks family to Australian Magazine Woman's Day

Sylvester Stallone talked with Woman's Day about family and his role as a father to his girls. He and wife, Jennifer Flavin have three daughters, Sophia Rose, 10, Sistine Rose, 8 1/2 and Scarlet Rose, 4 1/2. Here are the highlights:

Family counts more than work.

"You figure out that it's not your work and successes that count, but the kind of life you make for yourself and the people who know you."

A better father at 50?

Sylvester has two older sons, Seargeoh ("Seth"), 27 and Sage, 30, but thinks that he has been a better father to his girls; "I make a much better father and husband now than I could have earlier...I sometimes think all men should wait till they're 50 to settle down."

Are boys or girls easier?

Sylvester doesn't say, but he does tell Woman's Day that "girls are very different to bringing up boys!"

What has he taught his daughters about men and life?

"I do actually teach them to be very, very cautious, to be a little suspicious in life, not take things at face value. But more importantly to try to be incredibly gracious, they've been born extremely lucky. Right now the road is just paved with no bumps in it."
