> Counting expenses and lost income from acting in Hollywood films, "in all

> "But I'm not sorry. It was more than worth it," he said.

> "What was much worse was the damage my time as governor did to the family.
> There is a lot there that needs to be repaired," he said, recalling the many
> Sunday evenings when his wife, Maria, and children broke out in tears at his
> heavy work schedule.
>
> "We hate your job," Schwarzenegger quoted family members as saying during
> his early years as governor when he would leave his Los Angeles home every
> Monday morning for the capital, Sacramento, and not return until the end of
> the week.
>
> "It was heartbreaking every time," said Schwarzenegger, a Republican who
> served as governor from 2003 until early this month. "*In my second term
> of office, I did better. I tried to fly home every evening.*"
