London, Jan 11 (IANS) Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone says that he prefers painting to acting.

'Movies are a vision dependent upon three or four hundred people to accomplish it. So there's great compromising.

'And so much is lost in the translation. So when you get up there, it's maybe 40 per cent of the way you envisaged it. Because of the finance thing, and the actor doesn't interpret it properly. Or the director isn't on form that day and he missed the whole point,' femalefirst.co.uk quoted the 'Rocky' actor as saying

'Whereas painting is all you do. It either soars or it crashes. There's no one to blame but one person,' he added.
