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

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

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.

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

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.

Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.

Sometimes you can hear them talk, other times you can't. All the same old cliches, is that a woman or a man?

Forgiveness in the heart comes about when the walls of separation in the mind fall.

First female referee can't play probably, either, right? But you're thinking the game like you know it? Okay, see ya.

I made myself into an envelope into which I could thrust my work deep, lick the flap, seal it from everybody.

Self-realization is not the awareness that this world is a dream, that's a part of self-realization.

The worst thing that can happen is death, and that's not the worst thing in the world either.

For one true measure of a nation is its success in fulfilling the promise of a better life for each of its members. Let this be the measure of our nation.

President John F. Kennedy died at approximately 1:00 CST today, here in Dallas. He died of a gunshot wound to the brain. I have no other details regarding the assassination of the president.

I believe the greatest gift I can conceive of having from anyone is to be seen by them, heard by them, to be understood and touched by them.
