When I race in Australia or Korea or Japan I know it will be a big change for me because Ferrari fans are worldwide.

If you're in the best team in the world, you or your teammate have to win.

Ferrari gives you a special feeling.

I don't have any relationship with God and I've never wanted it. I don't believe in fate or in any superior entity; if a plane crashes and people die, it's not because Heaven said so.

I like to race, not to do laps alone.

I look at myself as someone who has been very lucky - my job is also what I enjoy most in the world, and I can make my life doing it.

My parents are responsible for the two things I like doing most - driving and magic tricks. They bought me my first go-kart and a magician's kit.

The race is lost. You can't overtake here and I'm starting from 15th... It's over already.

I have always been very calm on the outside.

Totally uneventful. It was a very successful first flight. To be honest, it was a little bit boring.

For me, it was not destiny to make it to where I am now - I thought for a long- time I would become a go-kart mechanic, or a job like this, not an F1 driver.

Whether you realize it or not, your ongoing battle with unbelief drives all your sinful thoughts, emotions, desires, and actions.

Poetry is the experience of liberty. The poet risks himself, chances all on the poem's all with each verse he writes.

The world so quickly adjusts itself after any loss, that the return of the departed would nearly always throw it, even the circle most interested, into confusion.

Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

I prefer thought to action, an idea to a transaction, contemplation to activity.

Interviews are good if you want to be an actor because they raise your profile.

Make up your mind that no matter what comes your way, no matter how difficult, no matter how unfair, you will do more than simply survive. You will thrive in spite of it.

What if there's no such thing as PMS and this is just my personality?

For me, clothes are kind of a character. They're more interesting in those terms.

I start phone calls at 4 A.M. to cheer people up. The housebound, people in the hospital. People who, after decades, still can't get over what happened 10 or 15 years ago.
