When I produce a movie - and I've produced a number of movies, unlike Arnold - yes, I'm frustrated when the union says you can't do this, you can't work past that hour, you've got to break for lunch. But ultimately, they're right. What they do is for everyone's benefit.
Oh, I guess it's selfishness. I can make a movie when I want to. I don't need to work as a hired actor. I produce, I write, I direct. I guess I like it.
You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play.
I would say the biggest changes -- it has caused me to get into the present tense, try not to go too far into the future, not too long into the past, ... When (the kids) are jumping on your stomach, making a trampoline out of you at six in the morning, that's fun for me. That's present tense.
The definition of a Schwarzenegger Republican is a Bush Republican who says he's a Schwarzenegger Republican.
For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship.
When I saw Arnold say that he didn't need a union, because people in his position don't need it, I thought, this is a very naive way to present yourself. It's also kinda dumb about making movies. It doesn't realize how the union movement even helps the star.
He'll go wherever he feels it's popular to go, and I don't see an agenda other than to please his donors.
I grew up as a fairly puritanical, Protestant, football-playing boy in Virginia. I don't know that I've changed very much.
He will probably be very flexible now. He'll be very adroit in his attempt to win popularity.
You have to look inside these Trojan horses and see what is really there. They are deceptively named, and they are not what they appear to be on the outside.
so I can't say enough positive things about Kazan. I would leave it at that. I love the man.
I've always preferred not to run for public office, and I still do, ... Run, Warren, run!
You're talking about a man that taught me more than anybody else did about how to make movies.
