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.

My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it.

Marijuana... That's not a drug, that's a plant.

As a kid I always idolized the winning athletes. It is one thing to idolize heroes. It is quite another to visualize yourself in their place. When I saw great people, I said to myself: I can be there.

Onstage I'm always different than offstage. I can be very friendly offstage, but onstage I will pull one trick after another on my competition to wipe him out, you know-because it's my living and I have to win. Franco is my best friend, but I will do as much as I can to make him look bad and make me look good.

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.

All exercises that you do with your own bodyweight are great.
