I don't believe in luck. Luck comes to men of action.

When you promise yourself something, make a commitment, you can't give up. Because, when you're in the gym, you have to fulfill the promise you made to yourself. The people who can self motivate - in any field - are usually the ones who win. Regardless of talent.

When I go out there onstage, I want to be more than just a blocky guy who waddles onto the posing platform. I want the girls to feel something.

Bodybuilding has been my life; if it weren't for bodybuilding, I don't know what I'd be doing. I look at bodybuilding as who I am.

I don't believe in luck. Luck comes to men of action.

After being taught sets and reps and working at it for a length of time you can't paint by numbers anymore. It must come from within. Any artist has an emotional contact with their work. A true bodybuilder doesn't just build muscle he creates muscle. You can't be a robot.

The psychological tools I've gained from bodybuilding will never atrophy.
