You don't really see a muscle as a part of you, in a way. You see it as a thing. You look at it as a thing and you say well this thing has to be built a little longer, the bicep has to be longer; or the tricep has to be thicker here in the elbow area. And you look at it and it doesn't even seem to belong to you. Like a sculpture. Then after looking at it a sculptor goes in with his thing and works a little bit, and you do maybe then some extra forced reps to get this lower part out. You form it. Just like a sculpture.

If you want to turn a vision into reality, you have to give 100% and never stop believing in your dream.

My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe; I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.

I was born to be a leader. I love the fact that millions of people look up to me.

I just use my muscles as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street.

Always listen to your inner voice, your instincts

I feel good because I believe I have made progress in rebuilding the people's trust in their government.
