I was flicking through a few of the quotes under the tip jar tonight and came across this one. It struck me as being entirely false (which shouldn't surprise me considering he's a politician and an actor) from the point of view of the statements he makes in the sections I have bolded (emboldened?) What do you think? True or false?

Quote:
After one week [visiting Austria] I couldn't wait to go back to the United States. Everything was much more pleasant in the United States, because of the mentality of being open-minded, always positive. Everything you want to do in Europe is just, 'No way. No one has ever done it.' They haven't any more the desire to go out to conquer and achieve -- I realized that I had much more the American spirit.
--Arnold Schwarzenegger
