Last year was a lifetime, a whole career in one season. We went from being the dregs to winners.

Winning is everything. The only ones who remember you when you come second are your wife and your dog.

If I am pushed I will push back, that is the way I am. I am very British. We don't like to be pushed around. When the chips are down we might have to step into grey areas.

The British tend to shy away from the spotlight. We don't like being singled out in any way, and I think that is something which is important for me to learn to do.

After you've had Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna as team-mates you don't give a **** who the next bloke is

People ask me to describe myself, but it's a very personal thing. You don't feel comfortable.

Realistically, we could aim for the top three in the constructors championship. Realistically, we could look at winning more races. Three race wins would be very satisfying.

To be honest, I think for part of my late teens my character didn't really develop very much. I was in a state of cold storage.

I try to keep myself on an even keel by trying to be as critical of myself as I am of other people. I try to separate my performance from myself.

The problem comes when you say that danger is part of the equation. Then you don't do any more work on safety. That shouldn't happen.

I am very much aware that if I am getting good press at the moment I could just as easily be getting bad press. I cannot have the good and forget the bad. You have to accept it both ways.

The winning strategy is the one that successfully adapts to the changing circumstances of time, place, and person.

The quality of your communication shapes the quality of your life. Every cell in your being aligns with what you declare.

Evaluate yourself and your calling worthily enough and be proud of it

Moments always blossom more beautifully in memories.

Over the long term, it is more profitable to do the right thing for the environment than to pollute it.

I remember that I auditioned with the scene where I pull the grandfather out of the coffin. I just loved it so much.

Death likes it when you play hard to get.

I'm one of the few people in this world who can do anything I choose. I can't tell you how good I'm feeling.

The sun is getting dim, will I pay for who I've been?

Motivation clears the head faster than a nasal spray.
