Everything was magnificent so far, even if I knew my part of dramas.

My father was a motorsports journalist and a motorbike fan. He gave me my motocross bike.

That is why, as soon as I felt a real attraction for my first passion which was the motorcycle, and in spite of the danger it could represent, they encouraged me.

What fascinated me, it was not the glory, but the contact with the public.

In this kind of situation, we tend to cling to his convictions, we believe that, by magic, we are going to recover. Then we agree to drive less good cars and we are fatally more exposed. It is what finally happened to me with Ensign.

In this sport luck and tragedy are only a few hundredths of seconds apart from each other.

The fact that I am still alive after 100,000 laps is my championship.

In the end I didn't get a top car any more. I had no toughness left. That was the reality.

I am infinitely grateful to the life which privileged me.

But due to the present regulations the other drivers have better chances again. This brings back the tension.

Nevertheless during these two seasons, Chapman impressed me a lot because he had the faculty to pull himself out of the most critical situations.

Fortunately, in the place where I went out, they had set up a little previously a fence which prevented me finally from smashing against trees. I went out with a broken leg only. A small price to be paid at the time for an accident of this kind.

And luckily, therefore the good old days return. The traditional art of driving counts again, and it is all about good tactics, skills and reflexes instead of simple power.

To be here recovers from a state of soul, from a state of mind. I have the memory of the heart. I know what I received. I must have the will to give back to others.

Before the season begins, I had even damaged some frames, but Ken did not hold it against me and kept all his confidence. He was the one who incontestably changed my life, because without his help, I do not know what I will have become.

In the past, two colleagues died each season. It was generally accepted this could happen.

I believe to have been one of the rare drivers to have returned to Ferrari.

The existence is a tremendous curiosity, with in the course of the years, the discovery of yourself in your inmost evolutions. With the age you feel better than you are, what you represent. Which means a little at the planet's scale.

Everything was magnificent so far, even if I knew my part of dramas.

The margin between success and drama is fractional.

I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.

Happy to see that the Automobile Club of Monaco, opened its doors to the public to attend a considerable event. The promotion of this event will be made by the image and by the text, but still by word of mouth.

And luckily therefore the good old days return. The traditional art of driving counts again and it is all about good tactics skills and reflexes instead of simple power.

The multiplication of our kind borders on the obscene; the duty to love them, on the preposterous.

My exploits are nothing now to the average person.

Look for your choices pick the best one and then go with it.

Fashion is a completely international business.

The great problem was the selection of the readymade. I needed to choose an object without it impressing me: that is to say, without it providing any sort of aesthetic delectation. Moreover, I needed to reduce my own personal taste to absolute zero.

I suppose everyone tells little white lies. Quite often they're necessary to make someone feel better or prevent feelings from being hurt. Whoppers? No, that's dangerous and they'll boomerang.

I'll tell you, Quentin Tarantino really writes the most amazing dialogue.

It is the stories we don't get, the ones we miss, pass over, fail to recognize, don't pick up on, that will send us to hell.

A sense of curiosity is natures original school of education.

Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.

As a dancer, I've always checked my body constantly: 'Am I having a good day, or am I having a fat day?' I am probably more critical of myself than anyone else. I am very tiny - 5'1 and a half inches - so there's nowhere for weight to hide.

April weather, rain and sunshine both together.

You have to push through every difficulty to achieve the goal.

Money coming in says I've made the right marketing decisions.

I try to write from a point of view with my faith being always present and always there. don't want to write characters where everyone is saved. So this Madea character for me is not saved.

My transition from scientist to entrepreneur? Some would say that I still haven't made that transition.

I grew up in the New Zealand countryside. We didn't have television until I was 14, so sing-alongs were our only entertainment.

The most disappointing businesses, for me, are the ones where the people flat-out lie. I had one in Queens where I gave them a couple hundred thousand dollars and they started spending it on themselves.

In some instances, I don't care what people think. In other instances, I do - especially because of the stereotype. People take a look at me and say, 'She's cute. She's blond. She's an actress. She's a bimbo.' You know? So I take great pains to show I'm intelligent, to show I'm not a twinkie.

One thing all stage mothers share is an overpowering ambition for their daughters.

My proudest moments are beating Ferrari for the World Championship in 1965, and working with Ford to win Le Mans in 1966 and 1967.

I am a diehard Seahawks fan because I'm born and raised in Seattle.

I'm really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I'm really sexy.

I think comedy, so much of it comes out of the strange sort of golden instant 'cause you don't know why it's funny, but you captured it.
