Since California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger is already using his own movie lines in political speeches, we figured rather than actually interview him, we'd just use more of his film quotes to answer our questions. So here goes: A. I'm not into politics, I'm into survival.1 My mission is to protect you. Come with me if you want to live.2 You fall behind, and you're on your own.3 Q. Whoa. That's pretty chilling. So, Mr. S., you're an Austrian native. How would you use your knowledge of world government to strengthen California's economy? A. In socialist countries, insurance not necessary. State pays for everything. Soviet method is more economical. Right after revolution, they round up all drug dealers, all drug addicts, take them to public square, and shoot them in back of head.4 Q. Surely, the California legislature would never go for that here. A. Shoot them first.4 You heard me right. Con men. Degenerates. Lowlifes. Thugs. Criminals! 5 Q. OK, let's move on. You say the state is beholden to special-interest groups. How do you plan to battle that problem? A. I don't know what the problem is, but I'm sure it can be solved without resorting to violence. Actually, I hate violence.6 My men are not expendable. And I don't do this kind of work.3 Q. That's an enlightened opinion. A bit contradictory, but enlightened. A. Ask me a question I would normally lie to.7 Q. So you'd reject all special interest gifts? What would you say to a plate of homemade cookies? A. Thank you for the cookies. I look forward to tossing them.6 Q. Fine, forget the cookies. Let's talk about the allegations that you are a womanizer. A. I have detailed files on human anatomy.2 I've seen a lot, but nothing would ever make me cut out my tongue.8 I'm not a pervert!5 Desire is irrelevant. I am a machine!9 Q. What would you say to critics who suggest that a governor shouldn't be an actor who plays a monosyllabic, bloodthirsty, killing machine and that, in fact, you're making a mockery of the political system? A. You're a funny man . . . I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.10 Q. You're pretty funny yourself. One last question: If you won, how would your acceptance speech begin? A. You kids are soft! You lack discipline! Well, I've got news for you: You are mine now! You belong to me!11 ----------------------------------------------
