I Don't Mind Looking Foolish But It's Just That I'm So Bad At Singing. The Only Time People Ask Me To Sing Is If They Want The Party To Stop. If They Want Everyone To Go Home. Immediately.

Here's What You Must Do. It's Pretty Simple, Really, But I Didn't Say Easy. It's What Sets Those Who Succeed Apart From Those Who Don't: You Must Have A Sincere And Burning Desire To Achieve What You Dream, Dedicate Yourself To Making Progress, And Take Control Of Your Circumstances To Change Your Body.

The Percentage Of Gays Is The Same, Probably, As Anywhere. Most Bodybuilders Are Straight, Regular Street Guys, Though A Lot Aren't Serious. Many In California Are Punks, Beach Bums Just Lying Around In The Sun And Maybe Collecting Unemployment.

Nobody Gets Muscles By Watching Me Lift Weights.

I Know A Lot Of Athletes And Models Are Written Off As Just Bodies. I Never Felt Used For My Body.

Politically There Were Failures. And Also On The Personal Level, There Were Tremendous Failures.

If You Feel That Something's Going To Affect Your Body, Then It Definitely Will. I've Always Found That Sex Gives Me A Kind Of Calm, And I'm Much More In Control Because Of It. It's The Same For Friends Of Mine Who Are Also Top Bodybuilders.

There Are Some Girls Who Are Turned On By My Body, And Some Others Who Are Turned Off. But For The Majority I Just Use It As A Conversation Piece.

I Have A Love Interest In Every One Of My Films: A Gun.

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

We Had The Berlin Wall; We Had Walls Everywhere. But We Always Looked At The Wall As Kind Of Like The Outside Of The Wall Is The Enemy. Are We Looking At Mexico As The Enemy? No, It's Not. These Are Our Trading Partners.

I Just Use My Muscles As A Conversation Piece, Like Someone Walking A Cheetah Down 42nd Street.

I've Heard All My Life That 'this Is Impossible, You Can't Make' It And 'you're Going To Fail' But I Didn't Listen To Them And I Made It.

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

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'. So, I've Heard All The 'it's Impossible' Thing But I Didn't Pay Any Attention Because I Believed That I Could Do It.

Impossible Things

We Want To Make Sure Children Aren't Left Without Any Books. We Want To Make Sure Our Children Have The Books, That They Have A Place In The Castle. We Want To Make Sure That Their Mothers Have Affordable Day Care. We Want To Make Sure We Give The Older People The Care That They Need.

In Our Society, The Women Who Break Down Barriers Are Those Who Ignore Limits.

I Never Set Limits Or Created Mental Barriers. You May Have Read That I Imagined My Biceps As Big As Mountain Peaks When I Did My Curling Exercises. This Visualization Process Was Essential If I Was To Gain The Kind Of Mass And Size I Needed To Win The Mr Olympia Contest Against Monsters Like Sergio Olivia And Lou Ferrigno.

You Have To Fight, You Have To Have Courage For What You Really Want

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.

To Go In The Direction That I Went Takes A Lot Of Work. And I Don't Think You Can Do The Work - The Five Or Six Hours Of Working Out A Day - If You Don't Have A Clear Goal Or Know Why You're Doing It. If You Just Hang Out At The Gym And Train For Five Or Six Hours A Day Without A Goal Is Almost Impossible.

You're Always As Good As Your Last Movie And That's The Same With Politics. If You Are Successful With A Certain Policy, Then You're Hot; If You're Successful With The Economy, Or Bringing Down The Unemployment Rate, Then You're Hot. But If You're Not Successful, Then Things Go South Very Quickly.

That Is Not A Drug. It's A Leaf.

The Success I Have Achieved In Bodybuilding, Motion Pictures, And Business Would Not Have Been Possible Without The Generosity Of The American People And The Freedom Here To Pursue Your Dreams.

There's One Thing That I've Liked Over The Years When I've Promoted Bodybuilding And Fitness And My Movies And Politics And Issues And So On Is To Stay Focused.

I Believe With All My Heart That America Remains 'the Great Idea' That Inspires The World. It Is A Privilege To Be Born Here. It Is An Honor To Become A Citizen Here. It Is A Gift To Raise Your Family Here, To Vote Here, And To Live Here.

From The Bodybuilding Days On, I Learned That Everything Is Reps And Mileage. The More Miles You Ski, The Better A Skier You Become; The More Reps You Do, The Better Your Body.

I Do The Same Exercises I Did 50 Years Ago And They Still Work. I Eat The Same Food I Ate 50 Years Ago And It Still Works.

The Secret Is Contained In A Three-part Formula I Learned In The Gym: Self Confidence, A Positive Mental Attitude, And Honest Hard Work.

I Never Seem To Improve.' I'd Hate Myself If I Had That Kind Of Attitude, If I Were That Weak. I Can Lose Ten To Forty Pounds Rapidly, Easily, Painlessly, By Simply Setting My Mind To It.

I Did Smoke A Joint And I Did Inhale. The Bottom Line Is That's What It Was In The '70s, That's What I Did.

There’s A Legend Behind Every Legacy, There’s A Blueprint Behind Every Legend.

Not Many People Understand What A Pump Is. It Must Be Experienced To Be Understood. It Is The Greatest Feeling That I Get. I Search For This Pump Because It Means That That My Muscles Will Grow When I Get It. I Get A Pump When The Blood Is Running Into My Muscles. They Become Really Tight With Blood. Like The Skin Is Going To Explode Any Minute. It's Like Someone Putting Air In My Muscles. It Blows Up. It Feels Fantastic.

This Is The Only Place That I Don't Feel Out Of Place, Because Everyone Here Is Out Of Place.

I Am The Most Helpful And Open Up Doors For Everyone And I Like To Share.

I Really Like Thanksgiving Turkey... It Does Not Take Only Time In Houston That You Look At Natural Breasts.

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. This Area Of Pain Divides A Champion From Someone Who Is Not A Champion. That's What Most People Lack, Having The Guts To Go On And Just Say They'll Go Through The Pain No Matter What Happens. 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. So They Don't Pass Out. They Don't Go On.

I Don't Criticize Myself; I Criticize My Body.

No Matter What You Do, You First Have To Have A Vision... To See Your Goal, To Believe In It, Have Faith In It And Chase It. And Then It's Fun To Chase It. If You Don't Have A Goal Or A Vision, Then You Have Nothing.

The C**k Isn't A Muscle So It Doesn't Grow In Relation To The Shoulders, Say, Or The Pectorals. You Can't Make It Bigger Through Exercise, That's For Sure.

Vision Creates Faith And Faith Creates Willpower. With Faith There Is No Anxiety And No Doubt - Just Absolute Confidence In Yourself.
