I was extremely aggressive from the start.

Gary Smith, when I came to America, taught me a great deal about racing.

You had to decompress the pressure before the race. I taught my heart to relax. I lay down before the race. It gave me more energy just before the race.

A racing driver has to be a good driver.

I am very happy because motor racing is very important outside the states, very big all over the world.

I based in Brazil, Sao Paulo, but I come very often to the states, and I travel all over the world.

I know if someone is coming from my right side. I could feel it.

You are going in one second the length of a football field. That means you brain is receiving information from your body what the car is doing physically, bumping, balance, performance.

To race Formula three is very high risk and I am not going to take a chance. Thank god I am not doing it!

I was extremely aggressive from the start.

I go to see grand prix every year, and I watch every race on TV for sure. I probably go to three or four CART races and three or four Formula One races.

The racing driver's mind has to have the ability to have amazing anticipation, coordination, and reflex. Because of the speed the car goes.

I have to accept risk as a racing driver.

When I came to America Al Unser, Jr. was very difficult. And Bobby Unser.

Indy car racing is much more aggressive.

I wanted to be the best in the world.

You have to visualize a second or two ahead of your car what line you are taking, what you are going to do, before you get there because it comes too fast.

Also, I am very religious. It gave me peace of mind all my career.

I was extremely lucky. I had some huge crashes and yet I am still here, thanks to God.

There are many young talents in Brazil. There is a lot of hope in Felipe Massa. It is very difficult to judge him in his first year, but by the end of the end we are going to have a better position how he does in Formula One.

I think with new president Chris Pook of CART, he is very active and strong.

The majority of people who buy homes in golf course communities don't play golf. Golf is way down at the bottom in terms of total numbers and growth.

We are supposed to enjoy the good stuff now, while we can, with the people we love. Life has a funny way of teaching us that lesson over and over again.

I never look forward, because I have no idea about how any of it happened to getting here. I've no idea how the next five years are going to be.

When I joined a baseball club, the boys of my own age, and a little older, played in the first nine, those younger than myself played in the second, and those still younger in the third, and I played with them.

It's time to recognise the Armenian Genocide.

I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

I started collecting aerial photographs of Native American and South Pacific architecture; only the African ones were fractal. And if you think about it, all these different societies have different geometric design themes that they use. So Native Americans use a combination of circular symmetry and fourfold symmetry.

I used to run away from school to my village. But later, I went to the U.S. for studies and lost touch.

The production must be faithful to the line. If the production fails, my work fails.

When I joined politics, I was arrested in Luanshya... In 1960, I was with great people like Justine Chimba, Mazimba from Ndola and Dingiswayo Banda.

I love to breathe. Oxygen is sexy

I got my Equity Card from Berkeley Rep when I was 22 years old. I was cast in David Saar's 'The Yellow Boat.'

I remember the first time my friend Colin Lewis, who used to be a judge with me on a show on MuchMusic called 'disBAND,' told me, 'I think I just found your next favorite artist to adore.' He sent me The Weeknd, and he was completely spot on. The Weeknd is literally on every playlist I have.

From the dust of the earth, from the common elementary fund, the Creator has made Homo sapiens. From the same material he has made every other creature, however noxious and insignificant to us. They are earth-born companions and our fellow mortals.

I call it 'the Etch A Sketch life.' Every few years, you should shake that thing up.

I really feel like the gift is also the curse. It's always half-and-half. Whatever brings you the most joy will also probably bring you the most pain. Always a price to pay.

For me, peace is a fundamental human right of every child; it is inevitable and divine.

Somebody once said that Washington was a city of Northern charm and Southern efficiency.

Eventually the story would spill over into the regular media.

In concertos, I stand up, and I conduct with the bow when I'm not playing. During symphonies, I sit, but sometimes I stop playing to conduct. Being seated in a section allows me to feel more like we're playing chamber music, which is how I like to approach it.

I'm not fond of cities: the constant activity and swarms of people.

I had not even thought of running for president until one day in 1991, at a small fund-raiser, completely unanticipated, someone stood up and said, 'Hey, Mario, in all the years we've supported you, we've never heard you talk about the presidency, and we want to know why not.'

I don't believe I could live in Iran again. A tree, once uprooted from the earth, is very difficult to plant again.

I can't believe we've got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven't done anything I think is that good yet.
