Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skills.

I'm determined not to lose my name. It's who I am. It has neither aided my progress nor hampered it. It's just who I am. My character. My make-up. My culture and heritage is a very rich one. So what if it's difficult for people to pronounce? We all learned how to say Schwarzenegger.

A few people have said that I should change my name and the spelling so that people can say it, but I don't want to, I like it the way it is.

People in America and Hollywood are very good at pronouncing my name, to begin with. Socially, they're very adept at listening to somebody's name and repeating it, cleverly in the first couple of sentences so the name sticks to begin with.

I've been brought up with the Christian faith with my family.

Being attractive, it's not something I do consciously. It's incredibly flattering that people think I appeal to women. But that was a gift from my parents.

There's a physicality and confidence to Americans; they're very present. That's something I enjoy being around because it rubs off on you.
