Just Like In Bodybuilding, Failure Is Also A Necessary Experience For Growth In Our Own Lives, For If We're Never Tested To Our Limits, How Will We Know How Strong We Really Are? How Will We Ever Grow?

If I Would Do Another 'terminator' Movie I Would Have Terminator Travel Back In Time And Tell Arnold Not To Have A Special Election.

The Mind Always Fails First, Not The Body. The Secret Is To Make Your Mind Work For You, Not Against You.

Sometimes You Do Know, In 'commando' When I Said 'i Lied', I Knew That It Was Going To Be A Funny Line. I've Never Had A Bad Line.

If You Work Hard And Play By The Rules, This Country Is Truly Open To You. You Can Achieve Anything.

And You Know Something, Because Everything That I've Gotten - My Career, My Money, My Family; Everything That I've Gotten And Achieved Is Because Of California.

During The Time I Was In Office We Have Seen The Beginning Of The Elimination Of The Fire Season Completely And Are Having Fires All Year Round. I Think We Have Seen The Major Problem Of The Destruction Of Land And Property And Lives That Is A Major Problem Because We Don't Have The Resources For That Many Fires And We Don't Have The Resources And The Manpower To Fight Those Fires Throughout The Year.

I Think That One-liners Are Very Important And Sometimes You Don't Even Know When You're Making The Movie That It's Going To Be A Great Line. I Remember When We Did 'the Terminator' And I Came To The Line "i'll Be Back" I Had No Idea That It Was Going To Be An Important Line.

I Have Inhaled, Exhaled Everything.

Government's First Duty And Highest Obligation Is Public Safety.

When Your Vision Is Powerful Enough, Everything Else Falls Into Place: How You Live Your Life, Your Workouts, What Friends You Choose To Hang Out With, How You Eat, What You Do For Fun. Vision Is Purpose, And When Your Purpose Is Clear, So Are Your Life Choices. Vision Creates Faith And Faith Creates Willpower. With Faith, There Is No Anxiety, No Doubt - Just Absolute Confidence.

I Didn't Leave Bodybuilding Until I Felt That I Had Gone As Far As I Could Go. It Will Be The Same With My Film Career. When I Feel The Time Is Right, I Will Then Consider Public Service. I Feel That The Highest Honor Comes From Serving People And Your Country.

Well, You Know, I'm The Forever Optimist.

I Heard Nixon Speak. He Was Talking About Free Enterprise, Getting The Government Off Your Back, Lowering The Taxes And Strengthening The Military. Listening To Nixon Speak Sounded More Like A Breath Of Fresh Air. I Said To My Friend, I Said, "what Party Is He?" My Friend Said, "he's A Republican." I Said, "then I Am A Republican."

A Girl Can Talk About My Nose, My Teeth Or My Accent - Anything That Gets A Conversation Going Is Fine With Me. It Is Weird, Though, The Way Women Respond To My Body. Maybe 50 Percent Respond Positively Right Away, While Another 25 Or 30 Percent Need A While To Adjust To My Size And To Realize That Ordinarily My Muscles Are Soft, Just Like Anyone's, Only Bigger.

I Think That The Only Way That You Really Keep It A Secret Is By Not Telling Anyone.

You Don't Really See A Muscle As A Part Of You, In A Way. You See It As A Thing. You Look At It As A Thing And You Say Well This Thing Has To Be Built A Little Longer, The Bicep Has To Be Longer; Or The Tricep Has To Be Thicker Here In The Elbow Area. And You Look At It And It Doesn't Even Seem To Belong To You. Like A Sculpture. Then After Looking At It A Sculptor Goes In With His Thing And Works A Little Bit, And You Do Maybe Then Some Extra Forced Reps To Get This Lower Part Out. You Form It. Just Like A Sculpture.

I'm Not Looking For Sympathy At All.

Looking For Sympathy

I Like The Color Red Because It's A Fire. And I See Myself As Always Being On Fire.
