Pain makes me grow. Growing is what I want. Therefore, for me pain is pleasure.

Just like in bodybuilding, failure is also a necessary experience for growth in our own lives, for if we're never tested to our limits, how will we know how strong we really are? How will we ever grow?

I set out to be the best and I am.

No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, America brings out the best in people.

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 went from being the Terminator to being the governator.

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.
