I think that people are interested seeing me on the screen.

I never wanted to be a career politician. I always am interested just to take on challenges that everyone says are impossible to do and to take it on.

Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn't matter.

If I can sell tickets to my movies like Red Sonja or Last Action Hero, you know I can sell just about anything.

For me, life is about continuously being hungry. It's meaning is not simply to just exist or to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. We all have great power. That power is self-faith. There's really an attitude to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win. And you have to be hungry. You have to want to conquer.

I embrace technology and I just think that in 1984 when James Cameron wrote about the technology, everyone thought he was totally way out there and it was science fiction. Now it's almost reality what he talked about. The machines have taken over, except they have not become self-aware, like in Terminator. So this is really one thing that we have to watch out for, but I think technology is good.

When you have a well developed body and you're confident, you see people bending your way, wanting to be on your side, wanting to do things for you.
