ARNOLD MENTIONS "TL2" AGAIN BEFORE POLITICS! Arnold's political ambition VS his movies! Reported By: Associated Press Tuesday, July 16, 2002 BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger says he may yet run for governor of California. Schwarzenegger, a GOP activist, spoke Monday to a breakfast meeting of about 15 Republican state governors attending the National Governors Association conference. The 54-year-old said he mulled a challenge against California Democratic Gov. Gray Davis this past year, but eventually declined because of his movie contracts. "It's something that I'm still interested in (for) the future. I think that the greatest thing you can do is serve the people," Schwarzenegger said. "It gives me the greatest satisfaction < much more than going down another red carpet to do a movie premiere < to go and create after-school programs, help special Olympians, inspire kids to stay away from drugs and gangs." Schwarzenegger said he is now filming "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," "True Lies 2" and another movie. In a brief meeting with reporters, Schwarzenegger said he could imagine himself as California's governor, helping millions of people with their personal challenges. "What a great feeling to go to bed every night and say, `Look how many people I helped today.' That would be fantastic < very satisfying," he said. Thanks to Robert Weber for the tip! ---------- |
