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.

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!

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.

When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good.

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

It's always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone - sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.

If you aren't practicing what you preach, how can, and why should, anyone trust you?

One of the things I learned about writing a memoir is you can’t drag the reader through everything. Every human life is worth 20 memoirs.

I definitely feel we're moving forward. There's a lot more understanding... there's less fear and we're working on there being less hatred.

It was all in my head and now all I had to do was figure out a way to get it down on paper.

I would like to release an album that I truly believe in, thus it is hard to put a time limit on it. I want to really go deeper and discover myself again through music.

There's part of me that feels a privilege not to do music, but to do what everybody should be allowed to do, which is to do what you're driven to do.

During the last 100 years cosmic rays became scarcer because unusually vigorous action by the Sun batted away many of them. Fewer cosmic rays meant fewer clouds - and a warmer world.

The point is the love story. We live in a love story in the midst of war.

I wouldn't even say the internet is a gift and a curse for hip-hop. All types of music are bootlegged, including movies which are bootlegged.

Our treasures trifles seem, and all our life is dreaming, and the dreams themselves are dreams.
