I went from being the Terminator to being the governator.

With strength and determination you can do anything you want in life, as long as you believe in yourself, because if you don't, no one else will.

I would never exchange my life with anybody else's.

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

I was born in Europe... and I've traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.

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

I didn't leave bodybuilding until I felt that I had gone as far as I could go. It will be the same with my film career. When I feel the time is right, I will then consider public service. I feel that the highest honor comes from serving people and your country.
