Political courage is not political suicide.
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.
When the people become involved in their government, government becomes more accountable, and our society is stronger, more compassionate, and better prepared for the challenges of the future.
If my life was a movie, no one would believe it.
I can promise you that when I go to Sacramento, I will pump up Sacramento.
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.
I’m a competitive bodybuilder; I’m not training just to be healthy. Ninety-five percent of the people training with weights are into this health thing, and it’s a different mentality entirely.
I make my protein drink with whiskey. People think I’m crazy, but that’s the way I am. I get stoned, I do my own thing.
The best activities for your health are pumping and humping.
The facts are there that we have created, man has, a self-inflicted wound that man has created through global warming.
I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I said, Thyroid problem?
I believe in the philosophy of staying hungry. If you have a dream and it becomes a reality, don’t stay satisfied too long. Make up a new dream and hunt after that one and turn it into a reality.
Start wide, expand further, and never look back.
Climate change: I say the debate is over. We know the science, we see the threat and we know that the time for action is now.
I have a love interest in every one of my films: a gun.
Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.
My fellow Americans, this is an amazing moment for me. To think that a once scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become Governor of California and stand in Madison Square Garden to speak on behalf of the President of the United States that is an immigrant’s dream. It is the American dream.
My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it.
I was born to be a leader. I love the fact that millions of people look up to me.
Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.
