I'll be back.
You can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.
You can't be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You keep pushing because you believe in yourself and in your vision. And you know that it is the right thing to do and success will come.
While you're out there partying, horsing around, someone out there at the same time is working hard. Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning. Just remember that.
Be hungry for success, hungry to make your mark, hungry to be seen and to be heard and to have an effect. And as you move up and become successful, make sure also to be hungry for helping others.
When you build a career, you should never imitate anybody.
I’d always wanted to tell people that when I work on my body I’m thinking about classical sculpture, so I jumped at the chance to show off body building as an art form.
I posed for a gay magazine, which caused much comment. But it doesn’t bother me. Gay people are fighting the same kind of stereotyping that bodybuilders are: People have certain misconceptions about them just as they do about us.
Men shouldn’t feel like fags just because they want to have nice-looking bodies.
When I was playing soccer at the age of 14, the first thing we’d do before going out onto the field would be to climb up on one another’s thighs and massage the legs; it was a regular thing. None of us had a thought of being gay, absolutely not, and it’s the same with most bodybuilders.
Many women seem to have hang-ups about going out with me because they feel they have to be in the same shape that I am. If they’re overweight, they’re insecure, because they don’t understand that I don’t look at women the same way I look at myself.
I don’t criticize myself; I criticize my body.
I’m obsessed with packing in as much work as possible during each day, simply because there is only so much time you have in a lifetime. There is nothing better than to go home at night and know that you’ve done everything that you could do to accomplish your work.
I regularly buy and sell cars, but I do not buy and sell fleets.
Discipline is what you use when you don’t want to do something, when you have to force yourself.
I’m telling you, if you want to have good advice, never pay any attention to the camera guys because they will tell you over and over something is wrong and let’s reshoot it, let’s do this and let’s do that. Hey, just do it.
I take the academic education as seriously as the physical education. That’s why I tell parents that the schools can’t do it all themselves. The parents can’t come home from work and turn on the TV. That’s not being a good parent.
I think one thing that is extremely important is to connect with people in order to be successful and bring the people in so that they become your partners.
When you talk about the stimulus package, you can ask 1,000 different people and they – you will have 1,000 different opinions of what is the ideal stimulus package.
I think we can save a lot of money if we do smart growth, where we build the homes and all of this closer into towns.
We are going in the direction of artificial intelligence or hybrid intelligence where a part of our brain will get information from the cloud and the other half is from you, so all this stuff will happen in the future.
