All I know is that the first step is to create a vision, because when you see the vision – the beautiful vision – that creates the want power.

I had a clear vision of myself winning the Mr. Universe contest. It was a very spiritual thing, in a way, because I had such faith in the route, the path, that there was never a question in my mind that I would make it.

I did smoke a joint and I did inhale. The bottom line is that's what it was in the '70s, that's what I did.

Money doesn't make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.

The general definition of being muscle-bound is that you have so many muscles that you can't move freely. I don't know of any bodybuilder in that category; in fact, many of them are quite active in other sports.

Always have one possibility in mind and that is to go to the top, to be the best. Everything else should just be a means to that end.

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.
