A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.

A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.

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.

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

Some Italians are geniuses, but you have to find a balance.

I remember in the first part of the race I was sixth and I could have gone quicker, but I had to go slow. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.

That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.

When I test I never go right to the limit. Only because when you are below the limit you can go at the same speed all day, and that's the only way you can be absolutely sure about what you are testing.

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 don't like to go over curbs, because I don't want to be hard on the car.

I was very interested in that. It is very important to have confidence as well as to build up experience.

It's like when people talk about driving F1 cars in the rain. I have absolutely no problem with it.

Maybe I am not French, maybe I am from nowhere.

It's not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage.

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.

You were not in control You had no visibility: maybe there was a car in front of you, maybe not.

I like the mentality of the Americans. It's like when you talk about money.

People don't understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it's wet.

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.

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.

One of my biggest problems this season was with the clutch at the start of the race. I hate to risk the car.

You can't always have the best team. It's always a compromise.

I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.

So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.

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.

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

I'm brave to say that I won't take this sort of risk.

I think maybe the English don't want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved.

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.

I have had some problems because the French don't like people to have success, they don't like the number one.

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 Anot stop having fun and go back to the real work.

I'd like people to listen to our soldiers. They were there. They heard the alarms go off. They tasted the substance in the air. They spit up blood. They had rashes on their bodies. They got sick.

I could still walk the street. I don't have to have no massive security.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.

Everything is about your movements and precision and timing which is what gymnastics is about.

The '90s were really just bad for fashion and hair.

In school I was always being cast as the clown. And then I did 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose,' and once people hear you scream, they can't un-hear it. But I don't mean to say that I've been typecast, either.

Work harder than you did yesterday.

You stand still, somebody might get close to you. I don't stand still much anymore.

There are jobs that come along in your life, if you're lucky enough, that elevate you in a considerable way. And 'Homeland' was definitely one of those jobs.

Even when there are banalities, they're usually kind of benign banalities.

Because I write very simply, but inside the simplicity, there's a lot of subtlety. That's what I'm proud of.

I'm pretty good at gardening. It consumes my time, and it feels like I'm doing something constructive.

In a movie, that's the only time when you're allowed these kind of fantasies to be lived. Being able to look so cool and be able to fight five bad guys and take them down. When can you do that?

But what sets Europe apart is we insist on a social model that consists of solidarity, equal opportunity and a certain amount of redistribution.

Capitalism and the market are presented as synonymous, but they are not. Capitalism is both the enemy of the market and democracy.

Shakespeare's name, you may depend on it, stands absurdly too high and will go down.

When things get really bad, just raise your glass and stamp your feet and do a little jig. That's about all you can do.

Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.
