If you want to turn a vision into reality, you have to give 100% and never stop believing in your dream.

Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.

When I was 15 years old I felt totally confident I would become a world champion and the greatest bodybuilder in the world. The same was true of show business - I knew that one day I would make more money than anyone else in the industry and I did. For that you need the willingness to work and do everything it takes to make the vision turn into reality.

Politically there were failures. And also on the personal level, there were tremendous failures.

One thing Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't is self-effacing. Everything has to be the biggest. His money, his muscles, his movies and his machines.

If I would have listened to the naysayers, I would still be in the Austrian Alps yodeling.

Political courage is not political suicide.
