People Get Very Creative If You Include Them.

I Have A Good Sense Of My Body In A Bathing Suit Around People Who Appreciate What I'm Doing, Like A Contest. Then I'm Proud. On Television I Am Proud. But On A Beach Most People Are Not Experts.

My Whole Life Everyone Always Said 'it Can't Be Done', 'you'll Never Do It', 'you Will Fail', 'no One Has Ever Gone From Austria And Become A Mr Universe, Blah, Blah, Blah', Or When I Ran For Governor People Were Sceptical. It Was 'you're Going To Lose' And 'people Don't Take People From Show-business Seriously In Politics'.

If You Want To Be A Champion You Cannot Have Any Kind Of An Outside Negative Force Coming In To Deflect You.

Experiencing This Pain In My Muscles And Aching And Going On And On Is My Challenge. The Last Three Or Four Reps Is What Makes The Muscles Grow.

I Have No Fear Of Fainting. I Do Squats Until I Fall Over And Pass Out. So What? It's Not Going To Kill Me. I Wake Up Five Minutes Later And I'm Ok. A Lot Of Other Athletes Are Afraid Of This.

You Can Have Results Or Excuses. Not Both.

Most Bodybuilders Only Have A Hazy Notion Of What They Want To Look Like. They Do Not Say, 'i Am Going To Be A Winner.' The Negative Impulses Around The Gym Can Be Incredible.

The Better You Get, The Less You Run Around Showing Off As A Muscle Guy. You Know, You Wear Regular Shirts-not Always Trying To Show Off What You Have. You Talk Less About It. It's Like You Have A Little Bmw - You Want To Race The Hell Out Of This Car, Because You Know It's Just Going 110.
