I thought I would be a go-kart mechanic - not an F1 driver

If you're in the best team in the world, you or your teammate have to win.

Ferrari gives you a special feeling.

I don't have any relationship with God and I've never wanted it. I don't believe in fate or in any superior entity; if a plane crashes and people die, it's not because Heaven said so.

I like to race, not to do laps alone.

I look at myself as someone who has been very lucky - my job is also what I enjoy most in the world, and I can make my life doing it.

My parents are responsible for the two things I like doing most - driving and magic tricks. They bought me my first go-kart and a magician's kit.

The race is lost. You can't overtake here and I'm starting from 15th... It's over already.

I have always been very calm on the outside.

Totally uneventful. It was a very successful first flight. To be honest, it was a little bit boring.

For me, it was not destiny to make it to where I am now - I thought for a long- time I would become a go-kart mechanic, or a job like this, not an F1 driver.

We can't change what is coming. Something is always coming.

What is the mass of a feeling? What is its wavelength, its position on the electromagnetic spectrum?

On the internet skin colour can not be seen, we are all one in this new dimension.

Only out of great vulnerability do you discover what strength you have. Having a daughter who I love with all my being has helped me mine the source of that strength to previously unknown depths.

My high school years were fun and frustrating, typical of the teen years. The most important accomplishment was meeting my wife, Ruth.

From the shaken tower A flock of bells take flight, And go with the hour.

There is nothing new under the sun but there are lots of old things we don't know.

We have to change that whole system [of veterans support]. It starts with management. We have to have a whole different set of protocols. And we have to get people off the lines.

I find it best to dive right in and learn the hard way.

Good parents have children who do terrible things and vice-versa.
