“Arnold, what the heck are you doing? You’re getting out of Hollywood to go into politics? Well, then forget agents and studio bosses—now you’re dealing with real predators. But since your mind is made up, I hope you won’t mind a little advice from someone who’s been there.

…(B)e yourself. Be Arnold. Be the guy who can sit and have a cigar with the crew. Be honest. Don’t worry if you don’t know the answer to every question asked. Just say, “I don’t know,” if you don’t know. When I did this during my campaign in Minnesota, people were amazed. How revolutionary—a politician who stands in front of the people and doesn’t feed them pre-canned answers!” — Jesse Ventura, Time Magazine
