My wife. I am a lavish present-giver. I love worshipping my wife with beautiful bits and pieces – it is one of my greatest pleasures.

An office in the garden.

A family holiday – anywhere the kids demand. Last year, I wanted us all to go to Egypt and my daughter said, “No, we’re going to go to Grenada.” So we did.

My Patek Philippe watch collection; or my cars – an Aston Martin and Bentley Mulsanne.

My father would make sure that I knew what it meant. Just to give you an example, I started bodybuilding with the age of 15, and my father would say, why are you lifting these dumbbells and barbells? Don't you think it would be better to just go out and chop some wood and shovel some coal for some poor people that don't have anyone? Therefore you would get muscles. But at the same time, you're doing something useful. You're doing something for somebody rather than just for yourself and looking in a mirror at yourself and stuff like that. So he would make sure that you knew what being useful meant.

Spending time with my family—with no phone, no fax, and no meetings.

I am petrified of bikini waxing. I had a very bad experience in 1978.

I think I value the same things everyone does—loyalty, a sense of humor, the ability to make campaign contributions.

From a heart attack at the Kodak Theatre when they announce I won best actor for Terminator 3.

Well, there were, you know, several poses that was known for everybody, that is known for certain poses. And to me it was the three-quarter back pose. And it was a very difficult pose to do, to twist your body and to show the small waist and to show at the same time your wide shoulders, your back. And you also see the front and you see the abs and you see the calf and the thighs and all of those things. But it was a difficult pose to do. Very few bodybuilders could master it. I copied basically Reg Park, who was my idol and who won three times the Mr. Universe competition. And he was known for that pose in a kneeling position and in a standing position. And so because he was my idol, I was, you know, absolutely fanatic to copy his poses and then to kind of improve on that. And that's exactly what I did.
