I can't go to the cinema. I go to the bathroom in a petrol station and people come in there for autographs. It's tough but I knew that was going to be the case.

You just need to be accepted for who you are and be proud of who you are and that is what I'm trying to do.

If you don't have the balls to brake late, that's your problem.

I don't aspire to be like other drivers - I aspire to be unique in my own way.

In racing there are always things you can learn, every single day. There is always space for improvement, and I think that applies to everything in life.

Obviously I am not happy but they can throw what they want at me, I will come back stronger.

My saying is; We win and lose together. I think that really does apply to both my fans, family and the team.

I was born to race and to win.

Formula One was a very dangerous sport. It still is dangerous. But the danger factor is also the exciting part.

What people tend to forget is the journey that I had getting to Formula One. There were plenty of years where I had to learn about losing and having bad races.

Sure every driver has his value and you want to be respected... but again money is not something that drives me.

I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.

I guess telling stories is an art. I never looked at it that way. I just started talking, and everyone started laughing. So I kept talking, and they kept laughing.

I used to think God wouldn’t talk to me, but now I know I’m just selective with what I choose to hear.

In Nature nothing remains constant. Everything is in a perpetual state of transformation, motion and change.

Randomness works well in search sometimes better than humans.

The four natural principles for success are: A clear goal, a definite plan, confidence, no fear of failure.

A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy.
