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.

Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy ass weights.

Ronnie Coleman: The Unbelievable! (2005)

You can't do this if you're not dedicated and determined, and have a strong faith. Because it's extremely hard, especially trying to work a job and do it.

I just take it year by year. So much time is dedicated to doing this [winning championships] that I can't see having too much time for much else.

Hard work and training. There's no secret formula. I lift heavy, work hard and aim to be the best.

I wasn't given the genetics for football. This is my gift right here. I was always well-built. You can't do certain sports without the genetics, and talent, too, of course.
