Voters who once bought his story that he came to rebuild California by fighting special interests now feel deceived.

Shawn put the team on his back. Tonight was his night, he was going to go down fighting.

This has all the earmarks of corruption, especially with the double-dipping by his highest aides. I can't recall any other governor ever allowing that. Governors always make employees go off the government payroll when they start doing political work. But not Arnold. If a Democrat were doing this stuff, the Republicans would be screaming their heads off.

The first thing I look for when thinking about corruption is whether there's been a clear violation of the law. His veto of the nutritional supplement bill looks to me like a very clear violation of conflict of interest laws.

I wanted to do a naval film and I flirted with different ideas, most of which ended up being too intense. So when the idea of 'Battleship' was first suggested, I was instantly drawn to the challenge - could I invent a movie around the idea of five ships fighting five ships?

I don't consider myself an artist. I consider myself a very opinionated man who uses words as fighting tools.
