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

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

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.

Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.

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

You get the information, and it's not your job to judge it or not judge it. You adapt, and you do it. That's what we do as actors. We're just as surprised as the viewers, sometimes.

I don't remember if I've been asked seriously to direct a picture. I understand that. I'm very good business for people as an actor and perhaps they'd rather I didn't.

There are a lot of actors who wish there was a next play, a next musical. As an actor, I guess that's all I can wish for - the next role, the next opportunity.

He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.

I'm a complete coward in real life.

When everything goes without a hitch, where's the challenge, the opportunity to find out what you're made of?
