Then suddenly something just kicked me. I kind of woke up and realised that I was in a different atmosphere than you normally are. My immediate reaction was to back off, slow down.

You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.

Racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.

I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me.

Winning is the most important. Everything is consequence of that.

Of course there are moments that you wonder how long you should be doing it because there are other aspects which are not nice, of this lifestyle. But I just love winning.

Because in a split second, it's gone.

I was already on pole, then by half a second and then one second and I just kept going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

And suddenly I realised that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension.

Then suddenly something just kicked me. I kind of woke up and realised that I was in a different atmosphere than you normally are. My immediate reaction was to back off, slow down.

Women - always in trouble with them, but can't live without them.

The danger sensation is exciting. The challenge is to find new dangers.

Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles.

It was like I was in a tunnel. Not only the tunnel under the hotel but the whole circuit was a tunnel. I was just going and going, more and more and more and more. I was way over the limit but still able to find even more.

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough.

My biggest error? Something that is to happen yet.

I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.

Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.

There are no small accidents on this circuit.

These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are; at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile.

Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance.

It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen.

You must take the compromise to win, or else nothing. That means: you race or you do not.

On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit.

Fear is exciting for me.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn't mean I am immortal. It doesn't mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

I am not designed to come second or third. I am designed to win.

Money is a strange business. People who havent got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles.

Even one voice can be heard loudly all over the world in this day and age.

I've got all these great broads in me, all these character women. I was playing a torn-down stripper at twenty-five on Broadway, and now I fit the shoes.

It's easier to come up with new stories than it is to finish the ones you already have. I think every author would feel that way.

I know that the last thing a book wants is to just sit around unread, serving as an element of interior decorating. So when I have people over, all they have to do is glance at my books, and I implore them to take a few home with them. If I am really ambitious, I pack books into boxes and donate them to prisons.

I get recognised in town a bit; I wouldn't say it's hindering my life in any way.

Actually I liked that 'Let the Right One In,' that Swedish vampire movie.

Angst is not the human condition, it's the purgatory between what we have and what we want but can't get.

Engage the whole community with a common purpose to build an innovative and sustainable enterprise.

I've met more than one person in their early 20s who has never heard of Jackie Onassis, though most girls have because she exists as a fashion icon.

There would be no Star Trek unless there were transporter malfunctions.

Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none.

I don't want to be one of those people that's constantly promoting myself on Twitter. I think the fun thing about Twitter is being able to share all the little random things that happen in my life.

I'm a huge fan of 'The Six Million Dollar Man' and I love the episodes where they would cross over with 'The Bionic Woman.'

I feel, as never before, how justly, from the dawn of history to the present time, men have paid the homage of their gratitude and admiration to the memory of those who nobly sacrifice their lives, that their fellow-men may live in safety and in honor.

I've been a professional actor for almost 40 years.

The Odyssey is the story of Americans up to the point where they are well-established, and even so it is detached from the historical side.

Bowling really was a big American sport in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, and then it kind of died off in the '80s.

'Brisco' was the first show I created, and of course, at the time I had no idea what a special experience it was because I didn't have a frame of reference. After it was over I was like, 'Damn. Shoot. That was something special.' I'm still upset that it got cancelled.
