You are going to have bad days and have good days.

If you are going to try and hide something, sooner or later people are going to find out.

The attitude is very important. Because, your behavior radiates how you feel.

If I hadn`t lost my hearing, I wouldn`t be where I am now. It forced me to maximize my potential. I had to be better than the average person to succeed. That`s why I chose bodybuilding. If I became a world champion, if I could win admiration from my peers, I could do anything.

[his response (in 1979) to an indication that he shared the spotlight with Star Wars (1977) villain Darth Vader, played by David Prowse, another muscle-bound actor] Anybody could play Darth Vader. Vader is basically just a big guy behind a costume. The character shows no emotion, no nothing! If you really showed the emotional side of The Hulk he could be even hotter than "Star Wars". "Battlestar Galactica" (1978) didn`t show any feelings and that`s the big reason why I think it was canceled.

I know right a way there`s a person that`s very insecure; that he`s trying to out do me. And, ah, like I was saying before, if you give one-hundred percent of your best, and you may have fault, but there is nothing you can do, because you gave one-hundred percent.

It`s funny how sometimes how the public some people think I was born like this. That I maybe I sleep and I do big muscle, but its a lot of work to look like this and to be in this kind of condition.

To be a champion you must act like one, act like a champion.

Everyone has his own "little Hulk" inside him.

I never think about losing.

[regarding then competing series "Wonder Woman" (1976)] And as for "Wonder Woman" . . . there`s nothing there . . . nothing to show at all but a "beautiful body", and that`s it. You never get a chance to find out anything about the person at all. What a bore! I can`t understand why that show ran as long as it did.
