When I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and I would see these commercials... 'you can give 25 cents, save a child's life.' And I would think to myself, I wonder how many 25 cents I could save up to save all the kids in Africa. And I would say to myself, 'when I grow up, when I can get rich, I'mma save kids all over the world.'

It starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.

You can call me Arnold. You can call me Schwarzenegger. You can call me the Austrian Oak. You can call me Schwarzy. You can call me Arnie. But don't ever, ever call me the self-made man.

Tear down this mirror that makes you always look at yourself and you will be able to look beyond this mirror and see the millions of people that need your help.

In the end, we are not going to be remembered for how much we made but for how much we have given. Make sure that it is not about 'me.' That it is about 'we.' Turn the 'me' into 'we,' and I guarantee you that you can change the world.

You will get nowhere without a spiritual practice. Not necessarily religion — maybe it's music, or dancing, or just time for yourself to feed and nurture your own spirit.

To have the opportunity to live a creative life, to have even the possibility of the opportunity to live a creative life, is a gift.

You'll find your way. I did, and have more or less lived to tell the tale, and I sincerely doubt I was half as clever or talented or prepared as you are today.

In some ways, you've always been a creature of chaos. The complications of Act II, which will tip all you have been before into chaos, have been set up and abetted by really clever foreshadowing in Act I, by all those slippery you's over the years.

Act III is everything. No matter the strength of the foundation, the assorted catastrophes of the Second Act, if we don't have Act III, we're really in trouble. Will the heroine pull it out in the end, or does she falter?

The universe may seem like a lonely place sometimes, but there are as many you's as there are stars in the sky. Maybe one of them will step up at the right time and tell you what to make of it all.

Don't be afraid of fear. Throw caution to the winds, look fear straight-away in its ugly face, and barge forward. And when you get past it, turn around and give it a good swift kick in the ass.
