dream growing-up boys
My fellow Americans, this is an amazing moment for me. To think that a once scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become Governor of California and stand in Madison Square Garden to speak on behalf of the President of the United States that is an immigrant's dream. It is the American dream.
people healthy training
I'm a competitive bodybuilder; I'm not training just to be healthy. Ninety-five percent of the people training with weights are into this health thing, and it's a different mentality entirely.

I just use my muscles as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street.

I have a love interest in every one of my films: a gun.

I can promise you that when I go to Sacramento, I will pump up Sacramento.

I didn't mind basic training. It taught me that something that seems impossible at the start can be achieved.
country bodybuilding careers
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.

I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future.

It doesn't matter what party you come from. The key thing is that you work on behalf of the people rather than on behalf of the party.

I did smoke a joint and I did inhale. The bottom line is that's what it was in the '70s, that's what I did.

The forest fires are the worst disaster in California since I was elected.
matter republican young
It doesn't matter if you are a Democrat or Republican, if you're young or old, what the racial thing is, nothing matters to me.

From the time they get up in the morning and flush the toilet, they're taxed. Then they go and get the cup of coffee, they're taxed....This goes on all day long. Tax, tax, tax.
