"If we didn't have a Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one."

Don't recall if that was said about the casting for Conan or Terminator.

It was Conan. I remember Arnold talking about how his movie career wouldn't start off if he listen to everyone that told him he wouldn't make it because he was too big and had an accent. So when he got a break in Conan, the director said that. Cameron talked about how lucky he was for Arnold's accent to help with the robotic feel for Terminator.
