Relax.
1:04:43
Thank you, Arnold.
1:04:50
If you want to be a champion...
1:04:51
you cannot have any kind of an outside
negative force coming in and affect you.

1:04:56
Let's say before a contest,
if I get emotionally involved with a girl...

1:05:00
that can have a negative effect on my mind...
1:05:03
and therefore destroy my workout.
So I have to cut my emotions off...

1:05:07
and be kind of cold, in a way,
before a competition.

1:05:10
That's what you do
with the rest of the things.

1:05:13
If somebody steals my car
outside of my door right now...

1:05:17
I don't care. I can't be bothered with that.
1:05:19
I would only have my secretary call
the insurance agency and laugh about it.

1:05:24
Because I cannot be bothered with it.
I trained myself for that.

1:05:27
To be totally cold
and not have things go into my mind.

1:05:31
And it was, in a way, a sad story...
1:05:35
when my father died.
1:05:37
Because my mother called me
on the phone, and she said:

1:05:42
"Your dad died."
1:05:44
And this was exactly two months
before a contest.

1:05:47
She says, "You come home to the funeral?"
I said, "No.

1:05:50
"It's too late, he's dead,
there's nothing to be done.

1:05:55
"And I'm sorry, I can't come."
1:05:57
And I didn't explain to her
really the reasons why.
