I'm Carrie-Anne Moss.

I'm Arnold Schwarzenegger.

This is the Wired Complete...

Autocomplete Interview.

[they laugh]

[upbeat music]

[Interviewer] The Wired Autocomplete Interview.

Yeah, [beep] you.

[they laugh]

[upbeat music]

What did Arnold eat for breakfast?

Oh, I know.

I know what he ate for breakfast.

Muesli and yogurt.

Very good.

Yeah.

But you forgot the breakfast burrito.

Oh, I didn't know that. Okay.

Well, of course you didn't know that.

That's why he asked the question,

because he wanted to trick you.

That was the trick question.

[Carrie-Anne] What was Arnold Schwarzenegger's best...

Best bench? Best bench.

500. Mm.

It's very private. Yeah.

Got it. Just 500.

[Carrie-Anne] Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic pose.

Well, you know,

the most muscular pose probably is what he's referring to.

But I mean, there's many other ones.

To me, every single pose that I've ever done is iconic.

If it's the double bicep pose, or the ab pose,

or the double bicep from the back,

or the lat spread to the side chest pose,

or the thigh pose, or the calf pose,

it makes no difference what it is.

It was iconic.

That's why I became the greatest bodybuilder four times.

Period.

Hasta la vista, baby. Fantastic.

[board clatters]

[Carrie-Anne] Carrie-Anne Moss.

Jeri Hogarth.

Jeri Hogarth?

It's a character I played on a Marvel show,

Jessica Jones. I know.

Yeah. I loved playing her.

I think I did three seasons of that Netflix show.

I think it was three seasons.

And then I also, you know,

cross-pollinated into other Marvel worlds.

I loved playing her.

She was...

That was really fun.

I love playing people that are super manipulative

and will do anything.

It's incredibly freeing.

I would say I'm not that kind of person.

I don't have a bone in my body like that.

So it's super fun to just know

that there's nothing you can do wrong.

There's nothing you could...

You could be...

Like, there's no judgment.

Like, she just would do whatever she needed to do

to make whatever she needed to happen.

And there's something really fun about that.

How about Christopher Nolan?

Christopher Nolan.

Yeah. Really wonderful.

I mean, I did Memento with him

right in the beginning of his career.

You know, I knew that he was a phenomenal director.

He created an environment on that set.

I think I worked for 10 days when I did that part.

And I've talked to you a few times about how like,

I really look for freedom when I'm acting.

Like, I love the feeling of freedom.

And it's very rare on a set that you feel free, right.

Because you have your mark, you have your containment,

you know, you're stopping and starting.

There's people over here, you know.

You know you're not in that imaginary world.

Like, it's hard to believe that all the way, right.

With Christopher Nolan, he just like steps back

and you just are in this world.

So it was really very...

A lot of freedom that I experienced working with him.

Right. Yep.

Next one.

Your training for The Matrix.

Oh, yeah.

You know, like us learning the dancing, right?

I had four months of every day,

Keanu, me and Laurence training, and Hugo.

So we became like a family every day doing the training.

So that was really cool.

Very nice.

Keanu Reeves friendship.

Yeah.

Good friend. Tell us about the,

the friendship you had. Yeah.

I mean, were you as close to him as with me?

Not even close.

Good. [Carrie-Anne laughs]

You see, she knows how to do it.

It just isn't close.

[they laugh]

We're very good friends.

You know, we spent years together, so yeah.

But... You what?

We spent years in the movies together.

[board clatters]

I had to redo it. No.

No, don't ever say that.

[Carrie-Anne laughs]

Okay. Arnold Schwarzenegger, again.

No, I am holding it now.

Yeah. Okay. I'm holding it now.

[Carrie-Anne] Can you meet Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Yes, you can.

If you come to the red carpet premiere of FUBAR,

the red carpet premiere is all about the fans.

Fans come there, they can come and hang out.

They can come and shake hands.

They can come out and have the experience just like I have.

So, come on out on Wednesday evening, right here at Netflix.

How did Arnold Schwarzenegger become successful?

The best thing to do is to go

and buy the book Be Useful.

Because that book has everything in there that I...

All the tools that I used to be successful.

It's that simple.

First of all, you have to have a great vision,

so you know where you're going,

which direction you're going.

Like me wanting to be the world champion in bodybuilding.

Now I had do the training to get me there.

Every step, every rep, every exercise that did

made me enthusiastic and excited

because it was one step closer

to having that vision, make it a reality.

So, having a vision is the most important thing.

The next thing is, is work your ass off.

There's no such thing as shortcuts.

Anyone that thinks there's a shortcut,

or you can lie around,

or maybe you get up after six o'clock in the morning, no.

People that have built this country

didn't get up at six in the morning,

or at seven in the morning, or at eight.

They got up earlier.

Remember, the early birds get the worm.

So, it's like, this is that simple.

It's all about work your ass off.

There was times when I was working on construction,

I was training five hours a day for bodybuilding.

I was going to college at the same time.

I was running my mail order business at the same time.

I was doing all of this at the same time.

Because the day is 24 hours.

Six hours, we sleep.

The rest of the 18 hours, we work our ass off.

That's how you do it. Mm.

And the third is don't listen to the naysayers.

because there's a lot of people out there

that will always say, You wanna be world champion?

This is crazy. You would never do that.

You say you wanna be a great actor or actress.

They say that this is crazy, this is insane,

it's impossible.

Well, screw the impossible.

Doesn't exist.

The no doesn't exist.

Ignore all of those naysayers.

No, This is impossible.

Forget all that.

Everything is possible.

That's the bottom line.

Was Arnold Schwarzenegger a good governor?

The best.

I'm not gonna brag.

[Carrie-Anne laughs]

I'm gonna go and just say I was happy with the outcome.

I was very, very happy, the things that we've accomplished,

and I was very, very dissatisfied

with the things we didn't accomplish.

Mm. That's the bottom line.

You always walk away from the job

feeling like you haven't done everything

and you want to have another four years.

But don't get tricked into that

'cause it just happens to every governor.

Everyone would tell you that I wish

I could have stayed another four years.

It's just the way it is.

We can never, ever solve all of the problems

because they come, as you just put out a fire over here,

there's another fire starting over here.

So that's just the way the job is.

But the key thing is, that I'm most proud of,

is that I was able to work together

with Democrats and Republicans

and Independents in the state.

Bring everyone together

and never look at anyone as the enemy.

I always looked at them as kind of partners.

Together, we can do it.

That's the bottom line.

Do you know martial arts?

No. I just do movie Kung Fu.

Ah. Okay. Yeah.

Movie Kung Fu is good.

You're doing it well.

Thank you. Yeah.

I like it.

You wanna do the next one?

Ride motorcycles?

In movies only.

All right.

You can see the theme here.

Do you do your own stunts?

No.

I do my own action.

Stunt men, stunt women do stunts.

Who did Arnold Schwarzenegger look up to?

I looked up to a lot of people.

I looked up to Reg Park,

who was a Mr. Universe three times

and then went to a star in Hercules movies.

He was kind of like one of my first idols

when I saw him on the big screen.

I looked up to Ronald Reagan when I came to America.

I looked up to Nixon.

I looked up to Gorbachev later on

for, you know, dropping communism in Russia

because it didn't work.

And to have the balls to do that,

that's something that is admirable.

Nelson Mandela was someone that I looked up to.

I mean, what a great leader.

A man that forgave the past

to move the future forward in a big way

in South Africa was fantastic.

And when I promoted Special Olympics

with him down there in South Africa,

it was a great experience for me.

And being in his prison cell,

where he was in prison for 20-something years,

it was fantastic.

Muhammad Ali was another one that was a great athlete,

but he was multi-talented, had such a fantastic personality.

And without him, you know, boxing wouldn't have gotten

to the level that it is today.

I mean, he really elevated boxing because of his humor

and his wit and his quickness and all that stuff.

And so giving.

I mean, he would just walk through the airport

and give a 100 dollar bill to someone that is hanging there

and saying, you know, I don't have a home.

Or, I need help, or something like that.

So it is just, you know, he really taught us all how to be,

you know, giving and to give back to the community.

[Carrie-Anne] What does Arnold Schwarzenegger

do in FUBAR?

I kick some serious ass in FUBAR.

And I dance my way out of trouble.

I'm a little bit confused with my love life.

On the one hand it's with my ex-wife,

then it is with Carrie-Anne.

And it's like, kind of all over the place

because in this seriousness, in the second season,

my past comes back, you know.

We worked together like, you know,

30-something years ago, 40 years ago.

And we actually together helped to bring the wall,

the Berlin Wall down.

And we also were able to kind of

dismantle communism together and were very helpful in that.

And so, we worked together, but we also were enemies.

And all of a sudden, now's back in my life again.

So this is where the drama comes in with a lot of action.

[Carrie-Anne] What is Arnold Schwarzenegger

most famous for?

Most famous for?

I couldn't, I wouldn't even know.

I think that maybe most famous

for being the only Austrian

that ever became Governor of California.

Maybe it's that. That's amazing.

Or maybe I'm the only one that has

won 13 World Bodybuilding Championship titles.

I don't know.

Or is it that I have made over, you know,

four and a half billion dollars

at the box office with my movies?

I have no idea which direction, you know, I can go.

Because I was very fortunate

that I was very kind of successful in many different areas.

Not because of me,

but because America gave me the opportunity to do that.

You know, that's why I think the world of this country

and I always will give something back.

Arnold Schwarzenegger famous lines.

Well, I think the most famous one is clearly...

You're waiting.

I'll be back.

Hasta la vista, baby.

You shouldn't cook and drink.

Or, I'm gonna ram my fist in your stomach

and break your [beep] spine.

Or, Stick around.

This goes on and on and on,

the lines. Oh my gosh.

There's just so many.

Oh yeah, Get to the chopper.

Exactly. Yeah.

It's not a tumor.

It's not a tumor at all. [Carrie-Anne laughs]

You know, so the list goes on and on, like they said.

What is Carrie-Anne most known for?

Trinity in The Matrix?

Well, then we have to go and publicize it right now

that you should also be known for being

Greta Nelso? The most

extraordinary actress.

Aww. In FUBAR.

Thank you.

And being a fantastic mother

and wife and someone that really knows how to balance.

Thank you. The personal life

with the professional life.

Thank you.

Important to me.

Let's go for the next one. Okay.

hat's Carrie-Anne Moss doing now?

Now you're talking with us. Yeah, sitting with you.

Sitting with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

With the forehead.

And what question is that?

[Carrie-Anne] This is what people are Googling about me.

[Arnold] Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah.

[Carrie-Anne] What is Carrie-Anne Moss doing next?

Doing next, exactly.

As soon as this interview's over,

she's going to come over to my house,

See the pig. And help me

feed all the animals.

I love that.

Because I need help.

I mean Lulu and Whiskey and my pony and my...

Aw, that's so sweet. Donkey was kind of

a rebel today. Was he?

Oh, yeah.

They wanted to eat all the cookies,

all the oatmeal cookies that we have.

And then the pig came in.

Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink.

Totally ballsy with his huge deltoids

and glutes. [Carrie-Anne laughs]

And then I had to give him also a cookie.

Aw. Then the dogs come in.

I said, Okay, that's too much guys.

I'm gonna wait until Carrie-Anne comes over here

and helps me feed all of you.

And before I came, I made my dogs

10 pounds of beef while I was gone

so they would be fed as well

as I feed them when I'm not there.

Yeah, I get some of those.

Yeah, That's exactly.

That's my life right there in a nutshell.

Okay. But that's it. We did this.

Well, that's it for the interviews and all the questions

and all of that stuff.

I mean, it was a strange way to go about it

with pulling off these tapes

and like a classroom

in the third grade or something like that.

But I mean, it's, look, you do exactly what you wish to do.

We played the game, we tried to hang in there.
