I try to keep myself on an even keel by trying to be as critical of myself as I am of other people. I try to separate my performance from myself.

Winning is everything. The only ones who remember you when you come second are your wife and your dog.

If I am pushed I will push back, that is the way I am. I am very British. We don't like to be pushed around. When the chips are down we might have to step into grey areas.

The British tend to shy away from the spotlight. We don't like being singled out in any way, and I think that is something which is important for me to learn to do.

After you've had Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna as team-mates you don't give a **** who the next bloke is

People ask me to describe myself, but it's a very personal thing. You don't feel comfortable.

Realistically, we could aim for the top three in the constructors championship. Realistically, we could look at winning more races. Three race wins would be very satisfying.

To be honest, I think for part of my late teens my character didn't really develop very much. I was in a state of cold storage.

The problem comes when you say that danger is part of the equation. Then you don't do any more work on safety. That shouldn't happen.

I am very much aware that if I am getting good press at the moment I could just as easily be getting bad press. I cannot have the good and forget the bad. You have to accept it both ways.

Truth is not a matter of fact but a state of harmony with progress and hope. Enveloped only in its wings will we ever soar to the promise of our greater selves.

I think that more diversity is a good thing, and fresh points of view articulated by people who are committed to excellence in journalism is a beneficial change in the American media landscape.

I don't think anyone can walk through the world in a state of vulnerability all the time, can they?

The reason I can do what I do on stage is because I couldn't fake it.

I'm not starry eyed, and I'm not money crazy.

There seems to be less obvious corruption in city government and New York politicians, they aren't Republican or Democrat, they're New Yorkers.

They give us access to another world, they give us access to dreams. It's our way of living in a different realm for a short period of time - and how beautiful is that?

I have found words [in the Bible] for my inmost thoughts, songs for my joy, utterances for my hidden griefs, and pleadings for my shame and my feebleness.

It's not like Windows users don't have any power. I think they are happy with Windows, and that's an incredibly depressing thought

Speak low, if you speak love.
