I see myself as a classic middle market entrepreneur, and this is the role I fulfil.

Happiness is an enemy. It weakens you. Suddenly, you have something to lose.

A lot of people criticize Formula 1 as an unnecessary risk. But what would life be like if we only did what is necessary?

I've been through a lot and I realise the future can't be controlled. I'm not worried. You can always learn to overcome difficulties.

Really, you should always discuss the defeats because you can learn much more from failure than from success.

Don't talk too much, be focused on the goal and achieve it.

You appreciate that it is very easy to die and you have to arrange your life to cope with that reality.

From success, you learn absolutely nothing. From failure and setbacks conclusions can be drawn. That goes for your private life as well as your career.

A race isn't won until it's over.

Vienna is the gate to Eastern Europe.

To make a decision you need to be in a perfect environment: you have to be motivated and surrounded by the right people.

Take away your eyes from your past failures, current limitations, and future fears. Be hopeful, believe in yourself, be bold, and move on...

Having unceasingly grateful life requires demonstrating gratitude daily whether our daily life treats us kindly or not.

As a scientist, you're not supposed to make decisions without the data.

You're making me nervous by being so weird. But your weirdness is what I like about you.

Sometimes, I don't know that words for things, how to write down the feeling of knowing that every dying person leaves something behind.

Always remember, you will live, you will love, you will dance again.

Weakness is hard, but it doesn't have to mean defeat. It's our opportunity to experience God's power firsthand.

I think people are happier when they have structure, you know? You realize that as you get older. You have to have rituals and structure.

I probably am. I think Paul Giamatti also said in an interview that I was "f--king crazy." I'm flattered by that. I want to be that guy who's nuts who makes people think.
