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.

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.

Last year was a lifetime, a whole career in one season. We went from being the dregs to winners.

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.

Entrepreneurship is like a weighing machine whose load content should tilt towards passion to solve a pressing need, more than passion to make money.

Power of generalizing gives men so much the superiority in mistake over the dumb animals.

If it's a role like this one, an actual live person, a legend, there's lots of material laid out.

Every question was like the snapping of a little thread about my heart.

I wanted to write a new fable and see how many rules you could break.

Many many external circumstances are outside of your control, but will affect the outcome, and you have to be OK with that.

Keep your eyes on the Master, because He knows things we do not know!

It definitely helps if I can wear a jacket, because I can have a camera in my pocket. When we're on tour or if I go travel somewhere by myself, that's when I take the most photos.

If you play with people who are better than you, then you get better.

Art is borne out of necessity. Music is a tool and men are doers. When a relationship is working, you don't need to write a song-you need to get toilet paper.
