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

I feel good because I believe I have made progress in rebuilding the people's trust in their government.

To restore the trust of the people, we must reform the way the government operates.

I'll be back.

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.

As you know, I'm an immigrant. I came over here as an immigrant, and what gave me the opportunities, what made me to be here today, is the open arms of Americans. I have been received. I have been adopted by America.

Political courage is not political suicide.

My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave.

My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe; I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.

I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will.

As long as I live, I will never forget that day 21 years ago when I raised my hand and took the oath of citizenship. Do you know how proud I was? I was so proud that I walked around with an American flag around my shoulders all day long.

I speak directly to the people, and I know that the people of California want to have better leadership. They want to have great leadership. They want to have somebody that will represent them. And it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican, young or old.

In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.

We are a forward-looking people, and we must have a forward-looking government.

When the people become involved in their government, government becomes more accountable, and our society is stronger, more compassionate, and better prepared for the challenges of the future.

Maria is the best reason to come home.

It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat.

Everything I have, my career, my success, my family, I owe to America.

I believe with all my heart that America remains 'the great idea' that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.

Gray Davis can run a dirty campaign better than anyone, but he can't run a state.

I have inhaled, exhaled everything.

One of my movies was called "True Lies." It's what the Democrats should have called their convention.

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.

And now, of course this is another thing I didn't count on, that now as the governor of the state of California, I am selling California worldwide. You see that? Selling.

The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.

The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.

You can scream at me, call me for a shoot at midnight, keep me waiting for hours - as long as what ends up on the screen is perfect.

You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.

Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.

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

If you work hard and play by the rules, this country is truly open to you. You can achieve anything.

If it's hard to remember, it'll be difficult to forget.

My friend James Cameron and I made three films together - True Lies, The Terminator and Terminator 2. Of course, that was during his early, low-budget, art-house period.

I am a big believer in education, because when I grew up in Austria - when I grew up in Austria I had a great education. I had great teachers.

My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it.

What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.

Women are the engine driving the growth in California's economy. Women make California's economy unique.
