It was like I was in a tunnel. Not only the tunnel under the hotel but the whole circuit was a tunnel. I was just going and going, more and more and more and more. I was way over the limit but still able to find even more.

Sometimes I try to beat other people's achievements but on many occasions I find it's better to beat my own achievements. That can give me more satisfaction. I don't feel happy if I am comfortable. Something inside me pushes me when I get comfortable. It makes me go farther and I want to keep pushing.

When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough.

Fear is exciting for me.

I believe if you are doing something like competing, like motor racing, you either do well or forget it.

I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me.

In many ways we are a dream for people, not a reality. That counts in your mind. It shows how much you can touch people, and as much as you can try to give those people somehow it is nothing compared to what they live in their own mind, in their dreams, for you.
