Schwarzenegger spent the bulk of his address systematically dismantling the legend built around him. He traced every major achievement back to specific people who made it possible: the lifeguard who introduced him to weight training, Reg Park whose magazine cover gave him his life's blueprint, Joe Weider who brought him to America with an apartment and gym membership, the Gold's Gym bodybuilders who brought him pillows and a black-and-white TV on Thanksgiving when he had nothing. In Hollywood, it was Dino De Laurentiis giving him Conan the Barbarian, and James Cameron casting him in Terminator. Even becoming governor required Jay Leno's Tonight Show and hundreds of volunteers who appeared out of nowhere. 'I did it with a lot of help. Yes, I was determined. Yes, I had the fire in the belly. But I didn't do it without the help.'
