Quotes from the Movie
|
| : |
"The good bodybuilders have the same mind...that a sculptor has. If you analyze it, you look in the mirror and you say, okay, I need a bit more deltoids...so that the proportion's right, and...you exercise and put those deltoids on, whereas an artist would just slap on some clay on each side."--Arnold Schwarzenegger "Boy, that's fantastic. Fantastic. Imagine how he must feel. Incredible."--Bodybuilder Mike Katz, learning that his rival has won the Mr. Universe competition "I always felt my place was in America, and when I was ten years old I only dreamed of coming to America and being the greatest and being different from anybody else."--Schwarzenegger "You know Louis, you look like something Michelangelo carved out."--Matty Ferrigno to his son "Ive thrown up many times working out, but it's all worth it."--Schwarzenegger |
