"Every year I make a plan. I..." - Quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger

“Onstage I'm always different than offstage. I can be very friendly offstage, but onstage I will pull one trick after another on my competition to wipe him out, you know-because it's my living and I have to win. Franco is my best friend, but I will do as much as I can to make him look bad and make me look good.”

“You're always as good as your last movie and that's the same with politics. If you are successful with a certain policy, then you're hot; if you're successful with the economy, or bringing down the unemployment rate, then you're hot. But if you're not successful, then things go south very quickly.”

“One thing Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't is self-effacing. Everything has to be the biggest. His money, his muscles, his movies and his machines.”

“Reduce your plan to writing. The moment you complete this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire.”

“Objectives are not fate; they are direction. They are not commands; they are commitments. They do not determine the future; they are a means to mobilize resources and energies of the business for the making of the future.”

“The next thing to be said about what long-range planning is not, is that it does not deal with future decisions. It deals with the futurity of present decisions. Decisions exist only in the present. The question that faces the long-range planner is not what we should do tomorrow.”

“We need to give thought, but we also need to take action. You need to dream without just being a dreamer.”

“I don't want them to kill no hog . . . . I want a man to go to that chair, on his own two feet.”

“It's not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.”
