As You Know, I'm An Immigrant. I Came Over Here As An Immigrant, And What Gave Me The Opportunities, What Made Me To Be Here Today, Is The Open Arms Of Americans. I Have Been Received. I Have Been Adopted By America.

I Have Plenty Of Money, Unlike Other Hollywood Celebrities Or Athletes That Have Not Invested Well.

There Is Nothing Like Chess To Keep The Brain Smart, And Give It A Workout.

If I Would Have Listened To The Naysayers, I Would Still Be In The Austrian Alps Yodeling.

Trust Yourself,..dig Deep Down And Ask Yourself Who You Want To Be? Not What, But Who?

You Can Scream At Me, Call Me For A Shoot At Midnight, Keep Me Waiting For Hours - As Long As What Ends Up On The Screen Is Perfect.

The Unique Thing About Bodybuilding Is That When I Compete It Is Just Me On A Stage Alone. There Is No Field, No Bat, No Ball, No Skis, No Skates. All Other Athletes Have To Use Equipment, Like A Football. But I Don't Use Anything In Competition Except Myself. It's Just Me Up There. Me Alone. No Coach. No Nothing.

If I Can Sell Tickets To My Movies Like Red Sonja Or Last Action Hero, You Know I Can Sell Just About Anything.

Never Follow The Crowd. Go Where It's Empty.

You Can Have Results Or Excuses. Not Both.

The Good Bodybuilders Have The Same Mind ... That A Sculptor Has. If You Analyze It, You Look In The Mirror And You Say, Okay, I Need A Bit More Deltoids ... So That The Proportion's Right, And ... You Exercise And Put Those Deltoids On, Whereas An Artist Would Just Slap On Some Clay On Each Side.

For Me Life Is Continuously Being Hungry. The Meaning Of Life Is Not Simply To Exist, To Survive, But To Move Ahead, To Go Up, To Achieve, To Conquer.

I Admired Hitler, For Instance, Because He Came From Being A Little Man With Almost No Formal Education, Up To Power. I Admire Him For Being Such A Good Public Speaker And For What He Did With It.

My Relationship To Power And Authority Is That I'm All For It. People Need Somebody To Watch Over Them. Ninety-five Percent Of The People In The World Need To Be Told What To Do And How To Behave.

For Me, Life Is About Continuously Being Hungry. It's Meaning Is Not Simply To Just Exist Or To Survive, But To Move Ahead, To Go Up, To Achieve, To Conquer. Strength Does Not Come From Winning. Your Struggles Develop Your Strengths. When You Go Through Hardships And Decide Not To Surrender, That Is Strength. We All Have Great Power. That Power Is Self-faith. There's Really An Attitude To Winning. You Have To See Yourself Winning Before You Win. And You Have To Be Hungry. You Have To Want To Conquer.
