More From Arnold Schwarzenegger

My twenties were great. who didn't have fun in their twenties? but my attention was more out there, more about the surface stuff and the cosmetic stuff. i was always thinking, 'what do i need to do?' now in my thirties, it's, 'what do i want to do?' i've just become more solid with my own identity. so whoever wants to say their twenties are better... yes, they're fun, especially at night - better parties, better cocktails... not better sex though. absolutely not. and whoever says that is lying because sex in your thirties and beyond is f**king out of this world.

There are those of us who are always about to live. we are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. it always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.
Tired Waiting Events
Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

I have a funny relationship to language. when i came to california when i was three i spoke urdu fluently and i didn't speak a word of english. within a few months i lost all my urdu and spoke only english and then i learned urdu all over again when i was nine. urdu is my first language but it's not as good as my english and it's sort of become my third language. english is my best language but was the second language i learned.

I've come to realize that making it your life's work to be different than your parents is not only hard to do, it's a dumb idea. not everything we found fault with was necessarily wrong; we were right, for example, to resent, as kids, being told when to go to bed. we'd be equally wrong, as parents, to let our kids stay up all night. to throw out all the tools of parenting just because our parents used them would be like making yourself speak english without using ten letters of the alphabet; it's hard to do.

In the 19th century, the english were loathed. every memoir that you read of that period, indicates the loathing that everybody felt for the english, the only difference between the english and americans, in this respect, is the english rather liked being loathed and the americans apparently dislike it intensely.

I really tried, or so i thought, to avoid lying, but it seemed to me that they forced it on me by the difference in their vision of things, so that i was always transposing reality for them into something they could understand.

I think generally speaking, both people are trying to be free from the abuses of the white racist north american authorities. i think that's the one common denominator. the cubans found a way to liberate themselves and we haven't found the way yet. so that's the difference.
