Here are the highlights:

- My parents had no interest in body building.
- But I wanted to be a world champion in body building.
- My parents had no interest in body building, they wanted me to have a regular Austrian life.
- My goal was to become the greatest body-builder of all times... and then how can I take that name and fame and be involved in something - and that is how I got involved in the fitness crusade.
- I fought with Sylvester Stallone for a decade - we hated each other... it was war straight, all the way through.
- But finally in the late 90s, we became friends... I'm competitive so I need to put up a picture and say I want to get rid of this guy!
- Finally, when we became friends then we made movies together, we're partners in Planet Hollywood.
- It was the greatest joy to serve the people of California as Governor.
- Everything that I've achieved is because of America, it is the land of opportunity.

- I've had many failures but what makes you a winner is when you fail, you get up again, dust yourself and you keep going.
- When I came to the US in 1968, I was beaten in the Mr Universe in Miami Florida. I cried all night. I was 21.
- Eventually, I got back again and I thought I'm in America to beat all the body-builders. I moved to California - trained with American body builders and beat them at their own game.
