I decided there and then to sue the bastards.

Endless motorbike talk can and does bore me.

I race in two or three classic races a year and I may carry on for 10 more years or I may stop tomorrow.

It wasn't about the money. I just wanted them to admit it was their fault.

I decided there and then to sue the bastards.

I'd get to within a yard of that door you walk through and the thing would go mad. I used to carry an X-ray in my briefcase, to show them. But I had all the metal taken out.

Nobody within motorcycling has or deserves any respect.

I vowed I would do everything I could to stop the Isle of Man counting towards the world championship. And it was stopped, so they love me in the Isle of Man.

It's not as if there's a noise problem, because they use the same circuits as Formula One.

I thought: This is not racing, it's a suicide mission.

They were ridiculous times. After I won my world championship in 1976, I went to Japan.

I used to teach dance lessons.

The lovers of romance can go elsewhere for satisfaction but where can the lovers of truth turn if not to history?

I like what I'm doing. Today at 88, I wouldn't think of quitting because I can't think of anything else I would rather do. And now with my lectures on all the charitable things that I do, just as you do, I think that what I'm doing matters.

Classics can be phenomenal when done right. A simple roast chicken dish could be the best thing you ever eat.

Relationships are the hallmark of the mature person.

We are not won by arguments that we can analyse but by tone and temper, by the manner which is the man himself.

As a child I always had a sense of social conditions and political situations. I think it had to do with the fact that my mother was always discussing things with my sister and me - also because I read a lot.

I think I'm well on the way of overcoming a very big hurdle that's been in my way for several years. Which is trying to find a way to not let the insecurity of my profession get the better of me and make me crazy. I'm trying to find a way to maintain my own personal balance in the midst of everything.

I'm forbidden fruit. Once you go to certain households, mommy doesn't want you to see that dirty man who sticks his tongue out and spits out blood and all that stuff.

The wind industry has made major strides over the past two decades, and they have proven their industry to be efficient and self-sustainable. There is no need for the taxpayer to continue to subsidize a wind start-up tax credit.

One of the great things about my job is I get to do all of these things that I may not experience had I not been an actor.

The only reason I might go to the funeral is to make absolutely sure that hes dead.

I have a big thing with eye contact, because I think as soon as you make eye contact with somebody, you see them, and they become valued and worthy.

Success for an athlete follows many years of hard work and dedication.

At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety.

It's so funny, because right now I'm very tired and my brains a little dead, I tend to get very focused and serious. So, I'm probably coming off a lot more like Scully right now.

I think about never losing my voice, never giving in, never selling out, always keeping black, always sticking to the street. Staying neighborhood and not Hollywood.

Oblivion seemed the only reasonable option.

I'm pretty tough and picky when it comes to actors that I admire.

The manager as manager is a rational, consulting, persistent, tough-minded, analytical, authoritative problem solver using position power to achieve things; the manager as leader is a passionate, creative, flexible, inspiring, innovative visionary using personal power to achieve things.

I have respect for my fellow journalists at the other networks, and I wish them all well. This is a tough business, so good for them.

Your past is something you cannot change. You can't live it; it's dead.

I do a lot of serious stuff, but I'm not a very serious guy.

I think it's such a blessing to be able to have a child, and good and bad, whatever you go through, it's so worth it, and it's such an unbelievable time - you have someone growing inside of you!
