I'm in my usual state up here in the commentary box: high tension, heart beating like a trip hammer, whatever that is.

There are seven winners of the Monaco Grand Prix on the starting line today, and four of them are Michael Schumacher.

I don't make mistakes. I make prophecies which immediately turn out to be wrong.

You might not think that's cricket, and it's not, it's motor racing.

And now, excuse me while I interrupt myself.

There's nothing wrong with the car except that it's on fire.

Now he must not go the wrong way round the circuit, and unless he can spin himself stationary through 360 degrees I fail to see how he can avoid doing so.

That's history. I say history because it happened in the past.

I've no idea what Eddie Irvine's orders are, but he's following them superlatively well.

This circuit is interesting because it has inclines and declines. Not just up, but down as well.

Either the car is stationary, or it's on the move.

IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards.

And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing.

I should imagine that the conditions in the cockpit are totally unimaginable.

Well, now we have exactly the same situation as at the beginning of the race, only exactly opposite.

He can't decide whether to leave his visor half open or half closed.

A battle is developing between them' I say developing, because it's not yet on.

Even in five years time, he will still be four years younger than Damon Hill.

I can't believe what's happening visually, in front of my eyes.

Eight minutes past the hour here in Belgium - and presumably eight minutes past the hour everywhere in the world.

You can cut the tension with a cricket stump.

The lead car is unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.

Anything happens in Grand Prix racing, and it usually does.

With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go.

Schumacher wouldn't have let him past voluntarily. Of course he did it voluntarily, but he had to do it.

I wish we had a system where you are given a bill including service and that people were paid properly so they didn't have to rely on tips. In different restaurants there are different policies and it's all very confusing.

I'm a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I'm commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car.

Theres nothing wrong with the car except that its on fire.

Motor racing can never be totally safe and it never should be in my opinion.

The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.

Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes. It gave me the strength to persevere and warmed my heart.

Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul.

A desire to be observed, considered, esteemed, praised, beloved, and admired by his fellows is one of the earliest as well as the keenest dispositions discovered in the heart of man.

A man must be strong in that profession, he must have vigor of body and mind, yet I am all out of breath if I walk up a hill; I have not the heart to crush even a fly.

Well, after I had the heart attack, it was a very simple choice. What the doctor told me I did and I did it religiously. I ate nothing but lean turkey breast or chicken breast or a piece of fish that was very lean. I mean I stayed away from everything.

Then, in that hour of deliverance, my heart spoke. Does not such a country, and such defenders of their country, deserve a song?

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.

I try to teach my heart not to want things it can't have.

The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.

When you know something in your heart, you better not be quiet about it. You better speak out about it.

Death comes not to the living soul, nor age to the loving heart.

Great joy, especially after a sudden change of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue.

There is no persuasiveness more effectual than the transparency of a single heart, of a sincere life.

Grissom is pretty asexual. He's not that interested in anything other than work - except for Lady Heather. She's the closest to getting his heart of anyone.

The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears.
