I don't know anything about the hotel business.

So it was flawed in that it didn't require California to have a first claim on the power plants. It deregulated part of the market, but not all of the market.

I did this film for less money than it costs to stay in this hotel. We shot it in 20 days. We couldn't screw up takes for fun because we didn't have enough film.

The truth is in California you can't build a new manufacturing facility, and businesses are leaving in droves because of bad government policy.

I don't really know anything about the movie business, even though I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life - somehow I've never bumped into it.

The studio scene in California is sort of ridiculous anyway.

When California provides the same value as other locations, I'd gladly shoot all my pictures here.

And now, of course this is another thing I didn't count on, that now as the governor of the state of California, I am selling California worldwide. You see that? Selling.

When American producers see my film, they think that I had a big budget to do it, like 23 million. But in fact I had 10 percent of that budget. I did 'Mars et Avril' for only 2.3 million.

A lot of places in Las Vegas are big boxes of stuff. The hotels I've built have had, for lack of a better term, a soul.
