In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place.

When I look fast, I'm not smooth and I am going slowly. And when I look slow, I am smooth and going fast.

Do you know, why I really love my helmet that much? Because it makes me 15 centimetres taller!

Without going to what I think is my limit. I always say that my ideal is to get pole with the minimum effort, and to win the race at the slowest speed possible.

I always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analysed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not.

Sometimes I think I could have got some better results if I had a different mentality; if I could have pushed hard and attacked. But then I would have had a good chance of making a mistake.

Does it scare me, driving into nothing at 300kph? - Of course it does - I'm not an idiot.

I have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success. I work very hard and they don't appreciate that.

The people who criticise you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair. People who never drove a car in these conditions, they just don't know.

Someone has said that it requires less mental effort to condemn than to think.

I'm intimidated by the fear of being average.

No matter whether the Constitution follows the flag or not, the Supreme Court follows the election returns.

Heaven would indeed be heaven if lovers were there permitted as much enjoyment as they had experienced on earth.

Far best is he who is himself all-wise, and he, too, good who listens to wise words; But whoso is not wise or lays to hear another's wisdom is a useless man.

Until now, until I actually got into law class, I just never thought of it as being an interest for me, but it's really funny because now that I'm in law, I'm like 'Wow, I could be a lawyer

If success is a habit, it is a hard one to acquire.

People are much more likely to act their way into a new way of thinking, than think their way into a new way of acting.

No man can have much kindness for him by whom he does not believe himself esteemed, and nothing so evidently proves esteem as imitation.

I've come to this conclusion: What makes a great actor is great need. A huge need of acting.
