“Through discipline, and determination one can change anything and everything about him – his habits, his outlook on life.”

I hurt so many people.

Money doesn’t make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.

I think that the only way that you really keep it a secret is by not telling anyone.

Concentrate on your goals. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind. If you allow them to, other things could take your concentration away from your ultimate aim.

I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future.

People who say “it is impossible”, should not interrupt those who are trying to make it possible.

Positive thinking can be contagious. Being surrounded by winners helps you develop into a winner.

Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith there is no anxiety and no doubt – just absolute confidence in yourself.

I’ll be back.

I think the first and most important thing is that you’ve got to have a goal and a vision.

My CPU is a neural net processor; a learning computer.

Just like in bodybuilding, failure is also a necessary experience for growth in our own lives, for if we’re never tested to our limits, how will we know how strong we really are? How will we ever grow?

You have to do everything possible to win no matter what.

You must see it. You must believe it. And then you must never stop working to make it happen.

I have a love interest in every one of my films – a gun.

The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.

It’s pain that changes our lives.

If mankind were all intellect, they would be continually changing, so that one age would be entirely unlike another. The great conservative is the heart, which remains the same in all ages; so that commonplaces of a thousand years’ standing are as effective as ever.

Sooner and later you will see great changes made, dreadful horrors and vengeances. For as the Moon is thus led by its angel, the heavens draw near to the Balance.

The tragedy of life is that people do not change.

Things do change over time.

When I’m shooting on location, you get ideas on the spot – new angles. You make not major changes but important modifications, that you can’t do on a set. I do that because you have to be economical.

There’s no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.

Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
