I've decided to retire from top class racing. It has been an incredible experience and has provided with me some unforgettable moments.

In Malaysia where the front end pushes so much, extra engine braking is really going to help you.

The rider and the team need to understand one another and work in the same direction. Then the rider's happy, and only then will the rider be able to give 100%.

I'm proud of my triumphs. I've dreamed of being world champion, I've had some difficult times and they've made me value the good times.

What the other teams do is something that I can never control, so I just keep focussed on my direction.

We've done all the work that HRC wanted on the twin and the project has been completed. We were consistently up there with the top guys and that is what HRC wanted to prove.

It's quite easy to start Trials riding. You just need a bike and you're set.

I've always like roadracing, but you know how it is in a family when you're young. They thought it was a little too dangerous so I started with Trials riding.

I've enjoyed winning races in both 500cc and MotoGP and enjoyed leading the world championship and contesting it right up until the end.

So while I was studying, I rode my Trials bike, then I moved to roadracing.

With roadracing, it takes a lot more time and money.

Lessons from the past create hope for the future and action in the present.

To have an empty head is worse than to have an empty bank account.

I look at words as if they were entities, sacred beings. There are words to which I tip my hat when I see them sitting on a page.

Because I want to be remembered.

The close Turkish-Israeli relations go back to the late 1950s - military intelligence, commercial, more recently, tourism and cultural relations.

Curiosity is not a sin.... But we should exercise caution with our curiosity... yes, indeed.

To find your own way is to follow your bliss.

You really only think with one part of your anatomy don't you?

The moment is the sole reality.

I do fat people and these makeups are really hard to do, but I want to make monster movies.
