Very beautifully said by him:

"As soon as you recognize that you are not self-made, you realize that you have to give something back. And when you recognize how good it feels to actually do something for someone else, it gets in your blood"

And it's even better due to the fact that he was very much presented as the self-made "American dream" man during his film career. His success motivated so many people to try the same.

Meanwhile, Stallone is a scab.

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago

Their competition must be over or Stallone would have given 1.1 million just to one up Arnie.

Stallone, on the other hand, is doing commercials and promoting his documentary.

My mom gave me shit back when I voted for him for governor of California (we were a liberal household) but I still have zero regrets. I hope Schwarzenegger continues to impress

Props. Those were the days when we could vote for people and not parties.

Like a T-800.

As a non-American he seems decent enough going by headlines in the last couple years but then it turns out he was a Republican governor? What's with that?

[–] mapiki@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

When California was Republican 😂

The issues and challenges people care most about change with time. Sometimes slowly.

Arnie is a good guy!
