Before Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Governor of California, he was one of the biggest named action stars in Hollywood. Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes on movies and acting are a lot more one-sided than his political quotes are. They pretty much only focus on a positive spin where as when it comes to politics, he will not hold back on his verbal whipping of opponents. The question is whether he will be returning to the big screen when his time as governor is up. He hints at the answer in the top ten Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes on movies and acting.
On The Terminator
“I have read a lot of action adventure scripts, and this definitely was one of the best. I knew that I wanted to play the part of the Terminator as soon as I started reading.”
Who needs a woman?
“I have a love interest in every one of my films: a gun.”
On returning to movies after his term as the Governor of California has ended
“I have no idea. So it depends if someone comes with a great script or a great idea…you know, would I still have the patience to sit on the set and to do a movie for three months or six months? All of those things, I don’t know, but I did have a meeting with James Cameron, we talked about some very important things.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger quote on acting
“I have to give the audiences what they enjoy seeing while I try to bring in a little something new, with different movies, different time periods and all those things. But what’s important is to entertain the people — everything else means nothing.”
The hardships he faced during the filming of Predator
“I took more abuse in Predator (1987) than I did in Conan the Barbarian (1982). I fell down that waterfall [40 feet] and swam in this ice-cold water for days and for weeks was covered in mud. It was freezing in the Mexican jungle. They had these heat lamps on all the time, but they were no good. If you stayed in front of the lamps, the mud dried. Then, you had to take it off and put new mud on again. It was a no-win situation. The location was tough. Never on flat ground. Always on a hill. We stood all day long on a hill, one leg down, one leg up. It was terrible.”
On Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables
“It is a great inspiration for people to see someone at his age still at the top of his game — acting, writing, directing, doing his own stunts and fight scenes — I mean, what an amazing talent. And for him to still be so athletic and be able to rip off his shirt and have a six-pack is just unbelievable.”
Quote on Will Ferrell movies
“In those, you howl for two hours and you feel like you get a six-pack of ab muscles from all the laughs!”
Arnold Schwarzenegger quote on the death of Patrick Swayze
“Patrick Swayze was a talented and passionate artist who struck a memorable chord with audiences throughout the world. He played a wide range of characters both on stage and in movies and his celebrated performances made the hard work of acting look effortless – which I know from experience is not easy. As a fan and as an actor, I admired Patrick and I know that he will be dearly missed. On behalf of all Californians, Maria and I send our deepest condolences to Patrick’s family, friends and fans.”
On the death of Michael Jackson
“Michael was a pop phenomenon who never stopped pushing the envelope of creativity. Though there were serious questions about his personal life, Michael was undoubtedly a great entertainer and his popularity spanned generations and the globe.”
A movie quote so strong that it came with him in real life, too
“I’ll be back.”
