I cannot live on an island of prosperity when I'm surrounded by a sea of misery.

I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.

These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are; at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile.

Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles.

I cannot live on an island of prosperity when I'm surrounded by a sea of misery.

The harder I push, the more I find within myself. I am always looking for the next step, a different world to go into, areas where I have not been before. It's lonely driving a Grand Prix car, but very absorbing. I have experienced new sensations, and I want more. That is my excitement, my motivation.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
