And I always tell them, what the short version is: you got to have 22-inch biceps, and you got to be able to kill predators with your bare hands. And of course, you got to have this charming Austrian accent. As I said, that's a given. 00:11 Speaker A hands and of course you got to have this charming Austrian accent as I said that's a given the long version is that I actually always had five rules you don't need to be a bodybuilding champion you either need to want to be an action 00:26 Speaker A The long version is that I actually always had five rules. You don't need to be a bodybuilding champion. You either need to want to be an action hero or anything like that. If you want to excel in whatever you do, those rules are for you. 00:39 Speaker A around you're not gonna be happy I grew up after the Second World War Austria right along with Germany lost the Second World War there was of course depression there was a terrible economic situation I wanted to get out of there I 00:52 Speaker A So my first rule is find your vision and follow it. If you don't have a goal, if you don't have a vision, you just drift around. You're not gonna be happy. I grew up after the Second World War in Austria, right along with Germany, lost the Second World War. There was, of course, depression. There was a terrible economic situation. I wanted to get out of there. I wanted to escape. 01:04 Speaker A America no one had the money to travel or anything but one day I was fortunate enough to see a bodybuilding magazine and on the cover was this very muscular guy mr. universe becomes Hercules star his name was a veg park 01:20 Speaker A And luckily, one day in school, I watched a documentary about America. I knew exactly that is where I wanted to end up. The question was just how do I get there? How do I get to America? No one had the money to travel or anything, but one day I was fortunate enough to see a bodybuilding magazine, and on the cover was this very muscular guy, Mr. Universe, becomes Hercules star. His name was Reg Park. 01:33 Speaker A became mr. Great Britain and then became mr. universe then he won a second mr. 01:38 Speaker A I read the article as fast as I could, learning about how he grew up in Leeds in England, poor, and how he trained five hours a day every single day and trained and trained and trained. Then he finally became Mr. Great Britain and then became Mr. Universe. Then he won a second Mr. Universe title and the third Mr. Universe title. 01:54 Speaker A stage where he won the mister universe and then to move to America thinking into movies from that moment down everything that I did no matter how hard I had to grow up or how much I had to struggle it didn't matter because I 02:05 Speaker A And then all of a sudden, he landed in Rome, in Canada, doing Hercules movies in the desert. I became more and more certain. I had that vision very clearly laid out: to be a champion on that same stage where he won the Mr. Universe and then to move to America, thinking into movies. From that moment on, everything that I did, no matter how hard I had to grow up or how much I had to struggle, it didn't matter because I knew what the purpose was. And I found my passion. Always discover your vision, and the rest will follow. 02:22 Speaker A no I wanted to be a movie star I wanted to have above the title building I wanted to become the highest paid entertainer I basically wanted to be another John Wayne what's wrong with that never think small thank big a third 02:37 Speaker A Now, my second, my second rule is never ever think small. You have to go and shoot for the stars. I didn't just think about being in movies. No, I wanted to be a movie star. I wanted to have a marquee above the title building. I wanted to become the highest-paid entertainer. I basically wanted to be another John Wayne. What's wrong with that? Never think small. Think big. 02:50 Speaker A impossible I mean it started right away when I was 15 years old and I became a bodybuilder right and if that happened I said I want to be a world champion in bodybuilding I want to be mr. universe 03:00 Speaker A A third rule is ignore the naysayers. I think it is natural. They really have a big vision and big dreams and get big goals that people are gonna say around you, "I don't think it can be done. I think it's impossible." I mean, it started right away when I was 15 years old and I became a bodybuilder, right? And if that happened, I said, "I want to be a world champion in bodybuilding. I want to be Mr. Universe." 03:14 Speaker A reg Park I want to be a Hercules I want to get into movies well I tell you when I met those agents and managers their reaction was oh that is so funny ha ha you want to be what a leading man 03:30 Speaker A They immediately said, "Are you crazy? Bodybuilding is an American sport. Forget about it. That's nuts." And then, man, I wanted to go into show business after I won 13 World Championship titles in bodybuilding. I said, "I want to be like Reg Park. I want to be a Hercules. I want to get into movies." 03:45 Speaker A international movie star with the German accent it doesn't happen forget about that and then your name what is it Watson it's all or something like that people are gonna storm the fear and the movie houses because what suspense is 03:59 Speaker A Well, I tell you, when I met those agents and managers, their reaction was, "Oh, that is so funny. Ha ha. You want to be what? A leading man? Oh, come on. I mean, look, first of all, let's start with your body. You're gigantic. You're like a monster. And then your accent, oh, it gives me the chills just listening to your German. Come on now. Have you ever seen an international movie star with the German accent? It doesn't happen. Forget about that. And then your name, what is it, Watson? It's all or something like that. People are gonna storm the theater and the movie houses because what suspense is starring in a movie? Oh yeah, I can see that." 04:13 Speaker A even accent removal classes I ran around all day saying lines like a fine wine rose and a bind all of a sudden I got a little break over sudden I got a TV show a little part then another little part 04:30 Speaker A Already, everywhere I turned, they said, "No, it won't happen. It's not gonna happen. Forget about it." Luckily, I did not listen. They said, "Take acting classes, English classes, even accent removal classes." I ran around all day saying lines like a fine wine rose and a bind. 04:42 Speaker A said that the press conference if he wouldn't have had Schwarzenegger with those muscles we would have had to build one and then when I did terminator James Cameron said the Albie backline became one of the most famous movie lines in 04:56 Speaker A All of a sudden, I got a little break. Over sudden, I got a TV show, a little part, then another little part, and then pumping out and stay hungry. And then, of course, online, that the big role was Conan the Barbarian. So finally, I got the big, big break. 05:18 Speaker A fail because you didn't work hard enough it doesn't matter in what area in no pain no gain listen man I came to the United States I remember that I trained five hours a day every day and I was managing a 05:33 Speaker A And you know what was so interesting about it? The director said at the press conference, "If he wouldn't have had Schwarzenegger with those muscles, we would have had to build one." And then when I did Terminator, James Cameron said the "I'll be back" line became one of the most famous movie lines in history because of Arnold's crazy accent, because he sounded like a machine. 05:47 Speaker A work work work my fifth and last rule is don't just take give something back tear down that mirror that makes you always look at yourself and you will be able to look beyond that mirror and you will see the millions and millions of 06:03 Speaker A So as you see, everything that the naysayers said was a liability became an asset. Ignore the naysayers. The fourth rule is work your ass off. You never want to fail because you didn't work hard enough. It doesn't matter in what area. No pain, no gain. 06:19 Speaker A drugs no the gangs and no the violence we all can create change whether it is not neighborhood or in our local schools because the bottom line is it is up to us have a vision thank big ignore the naysayers work your 06:37 Speaker A Listen, man, I came to the United States. I remember that I trained five hours a day every day, and I was managing a construction business as a bricklayer. And I went to college also, and I took acting classes from 8 to 10 at night, to 12 o'clock midnight every day. Work your butt off. That's what I always believed. No matter what you do, work, work, work.
