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.

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

To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

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.

I feel 100% a Yamaha rider in my heart. I had a long career and raced with several factory bikes, but the highlight of my career is undoubtedly with Yamaha.

I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.

Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.

You tend to become like that, what you want most. Its up to you to make it happen. Expect the best and work for the best. Dedicate yourself and make a successful life happen.

Once you discover that failure is survivable, your fear of it subsides. Failure is not opposite to success, just part of its process.

It is Peter himself that He says, 'You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.' Where Peter is, there is the Church. And where the Church, no death is there, but life eternal.

A broom sweeps clean, and itself becomes soiled; cleanse yourself of those offenses of which you may feel guilty.

You have two choices, write about something of significance or do something someone wants to write about.

Tread gently on anyone who looks at you sideways.

Dishonesty is so grasping it would deceive God himself, were it possible.

Look, I've always said from the word go many years ago that I felt the whole bonus culture, they need to think very carefully about being detached from the rest of the British public.

I want to make clothes that are beautiful of course, but also clothes that are interesting and considered and intelligent and not out of place.

The really blisteringly original games are incredibly simple.
