O biznesie

„(…) podczas kręcenia filmu nikt nie zdawał sobie sprawy, że ta fraza zdobędzie tak wielką popularność. Mówiąc szczerze, miałem ochotę ją zmienić, ponieważ moim zdaniem nie brzmiała zbyt dobrze: „Albibek” czy jakoś tak. Te dwa l w środku wszystko psuły. Proponowałem reżyserowi inną wersję: „I will be back”, ale nie zgodził się. Tłumaczyłem, że Terminator pochodzi z innego świata, jest obcy w Ameryce i dlatego posługuje się wyuczonym angielskim, który z definicji brzmi sztucznie, podręcznikowo. Konstrukcja I will wydawała mi się bardziej na miejscu. James Cameron jednak postawił na swoim… no i okazało się, że cały świat oszalał na punkcie tego jednego zdania. To niesamowite. Podobnie zresztą stało się w przypadku kwestii „Hasta la vista, baby” – też nie miałem pojęcia, że zrobi ona taką karierę. Tego się nigdy nie wie. Teraz często wykorzystuję swoje filmowe teksty podczas publicznych wystąpień. Kiedy na przykład spotykam się z dziećmi w szkołach i zachęcam je do sportowego trybu życia, zawsze na końcu dodaję: „I pamiętajcie – jeżeli będziecie dbać o swoje zdrowie, uczyć się dobrze i trzymać z dala od narkotyków, to ja do was wrócę… I’ll be back”.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Cytaty po angielsku

“I used to feel that women were here for one reason. Sex was simply another kind of exercise, another body function. I was convinced a girl and I couldn't communicate on equal footing because she wouldn't understand what I was doing. I didn't have time to take one girl out regularly and go through a normal high-school romance with all its phone calls and notes and squabbles. That took too much time. I needed to be in the gym. For me it was a simple matter of picking them up at the lake, and then never seeing them again.”

1970s, Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder (1977)

“My hair was pulled. I was hit with belts. So was the kid next door, and so was the kid next door. It was just the way it was. Many of the children I've seen were broken by their parents, which was the German-Austrian mentality. Break the will. They didn't want to create an individual…. It was all about conforming. I was one who did not conform and whose will could not be broken. Therefore I became a rebel. Every time I got hit, and every time someone said, 'You can't do this,' I said, 'This is not going to be for much longer, because I'm going to move out of here… of course, I had no plan how.”

“In sports, you learn competition means go after it, win it. And not to let anything else interfere. It's something you learn, and it sticks with you. I consider myself an expert in looking into a particular idea or goal and then going after it without anything else in mind… It's always the same kind of thing. You pick a goal, and then you just go after it, accomplish it, and get satisfaction out of that.”

“28% of the greenhouse gasses come from eating meat and from raising cattle, so we can do a much better job. … Luckily we know that you can get your protein source from many different ways, you can get it through vegetables if you are a vegetarian.

“There is another way you can tell you’re a Republican. You have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people, and faith in the U. S. economy. To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: ‘Don’t be economic girlie men!”

About

“I used steroids. It was a risky thing to do, but I have no regrets. It was what I had to do to compete. The danger with steroids is overusage. I only did it before a difficult competition – for two months, but not for a period of time that could harm me. And then afterward, it was over. I would stop. I have no health problems, no kidney damage or anything like that from using them.”

“I finally arrived here in 1968 with $20 in my pocket. What a special day it was. I remember I arrived here with empty pockets but full of dreams, full of determination, full of desire. The presidential campaign was in full swing. I remember watching the Nixon-Humphrey presidential race on TV. A friend of mine who spoke German and English translated for me. I heard Humphrey saying things that sounded like socialism, which I had just left. But then I heard Nixon speak. He was talking about free enterprise, getting the government off your back, lowering the taxes and strengthening the military. Listening to Nixon speak sounded more like a breath of fresh air. I said to my friend, I said, 'What party is he?”

2000s, Speech at the Republican National Convention (31 August 2004)

“The most important thing is that we need to be a party that is inclusive and tolerant. We can be those things and be the party we always have been. We need to think about the environment. Teddy Roosevelt was a great environmentalist and people forget Reagan was the one who dealt with the ozone layer with the Montreal protocol. We also need to talk about healthcare honestly. Nixon almost passed universal healthcare. We need to have an talk about immigration and realize you can't just deport people. We need a comprehensive answer. We also need to stay out of people's bedrooms. The party that is for small government shouldn't be over-reaching into people's private lives. Mainly, we need to be a party where people know what we are for, not just what we are against.”
