I learned the ins and outs of the supplements business as a bodybuilder. I'd worked with some of the companies, and I knew a lot about the products. Some of them worked OK, and some of them didn't. I wanted all of them to work, not just for me, but for other people, too. - Ronnie Coleman
I used to think that my career was to be a police officer, and that is what I was put here to do. But I always kept the faith and always worked hard on my goals and I finally found out on Sept. 25, 1998, why I was put here - (God) called me here to be Mr. Olympia. - Ronnie Coleman
I've always been a big guy - I was much larger and stronger than my peers when I was 13 years old. - Ronnie Coleman
It's hard to be at your best and to know exactly what is your best at all times because even when you do see yourself, you think you could be better, and you often feel that there is something you could have done differently. - Ronnie Coleman
It's just really cool to see high profile trainers, athletes, and celebs using my products and loving them. - Ronnie Coleman
One thing you can't beat in this world is time. I learnt that the hard way. You can't play basketball forever. You can't play football forever. You can't bodybuild forever. I mean you CAN do it, but not at a high level against younger guys who have more time and have not reached their peaks yet. There's only so much the body can do and once you're done, you can't go back in time. - Ronnie Coleman
Recovery is not a gift from clinicians, but the responsibility of us all. We must become confident in our own ability to change our lives, we must give up being reliant on others doing everything for us. We must have the confidence to give up being ill so that we can start being recovered. - Ronnie Coleman
The gym is one of the few places where I can just be myself without any hindrances and inhibitions. - Ronnie Coleman
The more I have to do, the better off I am. I'm not really one to sit around and relax and take it easy. I always like having something to do. Even though I'm not competing, I'm going to be making a lot of appearances, doing guest posings and seminars. - Anthony Hopkins
There are times I have to diet 16 weeks at a go, and I had to miss out on stuff I love, like burgers and birthday parties. - Ronnie Coleman
When I graduated from college, I tried my hardest to get a job at an accounting firm, and it just wasn't meant to be. I ended up delivering pizzas and newspapers. I knew my life was cracked up to be a little more. - Ronnie Coleman
Where I'm from, Bastrop, Louisiana, you played football, basketball, and baseball; you ran track - and that was about it. - Ronnie Coleman
You get used to a certain thing, and you don't want to change. Because that's what's worked for you. - Ronnie Coleman
Busy people begrudge the days being short. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. - Stanley Kubrick
Either you care, or you don't. There's no in-between. And if you care, then go all of the way. - Stanley Kubrick
