As a kid I always idolized the winning athletes. It is one thing to idolize heroes. It is quite another to visualize yourself in their place. When I saw great people, I said to myself: I can be there.

My instinct was to win, eliminate anyone who is in competition, destroy my enemy and move on without any kind of hesitation at all.

In acting class, you talked always about keeping it real and don't act... connect with the people and connect with the partner that you're acting with. The same is also true in politics.

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

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

Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith there is no anxiety and no doubt - just absolute confidence in yourself.

People are always making a fuss over my $15-20-million salaries. Believe me, the amount is meaningless once my wife, Maria, finds out about it. She's already spent half of my salary from Terminator 7!
