But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.

Also, when I started racing he knew a lot of people and it was more easy for me to find the first bike, so I have a good chance for sure.

I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.

It is a big problem and so I don't know for sure if I say yes or no to Ferrari.

How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?

Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.

I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.

I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.

As for the level of spectacle of the two disciplines, I leave it to the people who watch the races to comment.

If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.

It's a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

I always enjoyed myself a lot in pre-school.

We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year; we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.

I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.

In my opinion we are at the limit now, and 17 races is really too much. With all the testing that we do now, it means we're always on the bike and it's quite difficult.

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn't quite match that improvement.

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

My normal life is like being on holiday.

The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.

The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike... you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it's true.

To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

I dont like being famous it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

Riding a bike is like an artsomething you do because feel something inside.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
