I never wanted to be a career politician. I always am interested just to take on challenges that everyone says are impossible to do and to take it on.

I posed for a gay magazine, which caused much comment. But it doesn’t bother me. Gay people are fighting the same kind of stereotyping that bodybuilders are: People have certain misconceptions about them just as they do about us.

I take the academic education as seriously as the physical education. That’s why I tell parents that the schools can’t do it all themselves. The parents can’t come home from work and turn on the TV. That’s not being a good parent.

I think most of my lessons come from sports. That’s why I always emphasise to young kids to get involved in sports because it’s where you learn about discipline. It’s where you learn to keep going, where if you think you can’t make it, you can.

I think one thing that is extremely important is to connect with people in order to be successful and bring the people in so that they become your partners.

I think that one-liners are very important and sometimes you don’t even know when you’re making the movie that it’s going to be a great line. I remember when we did The Terminator and I came to the line ‘I’ll be back’ I had no idea that it was going to be an important line.

I was striving to be the most muscular man, and it got me into the movies. It got me everything that I have.

I was very glad I could afford to say no. With the income from my businesses, I didn’t need money from acting. I never wanted to be in a financially vulnerable position, where I had to take a part I didn’t like.

I’ll be back.

If I can sell tickets to my movies like Red Sonja or Last Action Hero, you know I can sell just about anything.
