I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.

We have to make sure everyone in California has a great job. A fantastic job!

In [my] youth I was smacked around.

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

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 think that if you grow up trying to be the best then you have to be competitive because the more you compete, the more someone is there that is a challenge and the more your performance improves.

Here's what you must do. It's pretty simple, really, but I didn't say easy. It's what sets those who succeed apart from those who don't: You must have a sincere and burning desire to achieve what you dream, dedicate yourself to making progress, and take control of your circumstances to change your body.
