I love acting, period. If I`m going to get hired as a psycho, by God I`ll take the job.

I enjoyed the crew. The best part about `The X-Files` has been the crew. This crew is an exceptional family and to go to work with a bunch of people that you really like is great. They`re all the best of the best and they really try to do the best job they can. I`ll miss that.

Everyday I had to show up and convince myself that I literally was this guy (T-1000) and that`s not easy to do. There are many distractions. I really consider the whole T2 experience sort of like a boot camp, military type of an experience that I endured and sort of graduated from if that makes any sense to you. - [about `Wushu` the martial art training he studied for preparing the role T-1000]

Acting is the only thing I have to offer so a day doesn`t go by when I don`t stop and appreciate this. - On Success.

Chris Carter is just a fantastic guy, I have enjoyed working for him, immensely. I loved this character. I don`t think I can say enough about Chris. It`s just a fantastic thing that he`s created and I`m so thrilled that I`ve been a part of it. I`m very grateful.

I`ve been doing this 17 years but I can tell you I have more websites now than I have ever had devoted to me or my past career or my character. When I got this show, I think I had two fans out there that had created websites on my behalf.

If acting hadn`t worked out? I never really gave that a lot of thought. Acting HAD to work out. I never gave myself another option. I had no choice.

I`m the kind of actor that talks to myself in a weird way to find whoever it is I`m looking for.

I wouldn`t trade my film school - which is basically Roger Corman - for anything. That`s how I got my experience in front of the camera.

I think 90% of acting is makeup and wardrobe. The other 10% is what I do here in my office, bouncing off the walls.

I am enjoying playing humans a little bit more now.

It seems that the small movies are a little more risky and cutting-edge. You`ve got your big commerce and you`ve got your small films that you`re more passionate about.

My intention was just to be a good adversary for Arnold to match. To match and be superior in character that you would believe that I could get the upper hand on him or else the whole movie wouldn`t work. I obviously had a great deal of faith in Jim Cameron and Stan Winston and everyone involved, so that was where my commitment was, to really pull this off. I didn`t want to let him down or let anybody down but I had hoped it would be this memorable, I had an inclination it would, but I don`t think I realized what an impact it would have, and how it would change my life. - [about his preparations when he was cast as the evil Terminator]

We were marching since we were babies and all we did was make Jane Fonda famous.

You don`t buy a Harley with your mind, you buy it with your heart and your balls.

I`ve been acting for 16 years. I`ve done 55 movies and, in all seriousness, there`s maybe five that are good and the rest are crap.

I looked to animal and insect imagery to develop the lack of substance and wasted motion that my Terminator has. I tried to tap into the killer instinct inherent in animals, where they are locked onto a target and will walk through anything that gets between them and their intended target.

You can`t think about how people will perceive you or your character. All you can do is focus on your work. The rest is up to the universe. I`ve been acting for 16 years. I`ve done 55 movies and, in all seriousness, there`s maybe five that are good and the rest are crap.

I am this guy. This is the closest to the real me than I`ve ever seen. I grew up with these kinds of guys. - On his role in Fire in the Sky.

He`s (T-1000) one of the ones that I`m the most proud of, but I can`t say that he`s my favorite. But he`s one of my close top favorites. I`ve done some roles since that I`m really proud of. I was proud of what I did in CopLand. I really liked what I did in Terminator 2; there have just been a lot of characters since that I`ve done that I`ve really enjoyed. I REALLY enjoyed John Doggett. He was definitely a role that I very much enjoyed. He might be my favorite. Yeah, Doggett might be my favorite actually. But I really liked the character I played in CopLand, a little movie I did called The Only Thrill" with Sam Shepherd, Diane Keaton and Diane Lane, and another movie, a very obscure little independent movie called "Texas Funeral" with Martin Sheen." - [on his favorite character]

I think every experience you have working with people you admire and respect really enriches you as an artist.
