I am a professional. At the circuit I am calm. At home I am very different.

You tend to think that there is a big gap between F1 and everything else. F1 is where all the fantastic drivers are, so you just don't know how good you are until you get there.

Am I calm all the time? That is a question to ask my mother. I am very happy in my home. I have a good family, that gives me something extra.

Give me a few bits of wool to stick on the car, a good gust of mistral wind, and I could come up with a better aerodynamic package on the bridge at Avigon

Experience has taught me that you have to improve all the time-little bit by little bit-and not keeping starting everything from new.

I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.

I lived in England to learn English. When I went to England for the first time, it was like being on the Moon. I had no friends, I couldn't speak the language. I was very isolated.

To be honest, I am not happy about all the publicity.

You never really know how quick you are before you reach F1.

That was my dream, to drive for Ferrari, but I am not a kid any more. If Ferrari is the best team and if I get the chance to drive for Ferrari, it would be with pleasure.

I made my choice to be in Ferrari. It is not easy because it is important for a man to have satisfaction. And for me to get the satisfaction I want means getting results.

We don't really consider ourselves famous. we're just four dorks who ride around on a bus.

If there is any god, then love is his religion and love is his prayer.

Once the inspiration comes, that directs where the perspiration goes.

Let's sum up: an unknown number of enemies with unknown capabilities, supported by a gang of madmen, packs of attack animals, and superhumanly intelligent pocket change.

Action scenes get me so excited, and my adrenaline starts pumping.

Actually, what I miss are people corpsing on stage.

I never got away from the war. Not because I was obsessed with it in those years, but because it was the event of my generation and I started out covering it so I stayed with it.

I'm over-educated in the things I shouldn't have known at all.

The unfulfilling job is not the failure; not pursuing your dreams is the real failure. Developing a vision requires conquering your fears and finding motivation from within.

When its comes to music and books 'OK' is not good enough. We need creative work that floors us! That we can't believe the beauty and brains and style and cool of. 'OK' can kiss my arse.
