You want to have fun but you also want to work well. Sometimes I was quite happy at Ferrari, because we would have fun, but then they could not stop having fun and go back to the real work.

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.

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

I feel so sorry that many Christians live in bondage even though Jesus has signed their release form with His own blood.

I just didn't want to be a loser anymore...-Mitsuko Souma

I sublet place to place with my fiancé. We don't really have a home. I haven't had a proper home for years.

I work mornings only. I go out to lunch. Afternoons I play with the baby, walk with my husband, or shovel mail.

Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.

Theirs is an American tragedy in which we all have played a part. It could go on and on, or someone must write "The End" to it. I have concluded that only I can do that. And if I can, I must.

I can cry myself to sleep because I'm not as great as Leonard Cohen, but who cares? Maybe you can't be as great as some people, but it's a tragedy when you don't follow your dreams.

Initiative is as essential to success as a hub is essential to a wagon wheel.

The mind is the world and the no-mind is freedom from the world. The mind is misery and no-mind is the end of misery and the beginning of ecstasy.
