“With [Vladimir] Putin, he says he’s going to do something, he gets on it, does it.”

It’s not as easy as that… it’s disappointing to think that all these countries spend a lot of money trying to get the Olympics.

A wise man who was always helpful to me: Mr (Enzo) Ferrari. He always supported me.

I have always been happy to have daughters rather than sons. You never really can be mad at girls for anything in life.

I simply scraped together all my experience and put it into the sport.

[Donald] Trump, I think, is the sort of guy that if he maybe thought he’d made a little bit of a mistake, would find a way out, he wouldn’t want to say, “Well, that’s what I’ve done and I’m sticking to it, and I don’t give a damn.” Which is what the other people in America would be like.

You have to hope that your opponents are unlucky. Never only rely on your own luck.

When there is more money at stake it affects the atmosphere and things become more businesslike.

I never neglected my daughters – quite the opposite – but I suppose I could have and should have spent more time with them.

I was delighted with Baku. People said I was completely mad; I was so happy when it all turned out all right.

Take away Toto Wolff’s Mercedes shirt and send Sebastian [Vettel] down a street – nobody would recognize him.

If I feel like something’s gonna be right, I invest in it, whatever it is.

I think we don’t need some people in Brussels trying to run countries that are some distance apart, who don’t speak the same language, don’t eat the same food. There’s a bit of difference between, Holland, if you like, and Italy.

[Donald] Trump would want to cosy up to him for sure, and he’d be right to do that. Which would be good for the world.

I always thought that dads in the old days where rather macho types who wouldn’t get close to a baby, let alone change nappies.

Anyone who doesn’t speak English isn’t worth speaking to

[Maurizio Arrivabene is quite a character] but only for himself and not for Formula One.

No matter what anybody says, we can’t have it all. Not if you are a woman. Not yet.

Nobody who says, ‘I told you so’ has ever been, or will ever be, a hero.

Most teachers, when surveyed, say that it is part of their job to help students develop things like grit. This is especially true at the elementary and middle school levels. They feel it’s part of their vocation to teach other things that are not formally academic content.

Our baboon was going completely sky goddess – which is to say, nuts.

All I can say is that you make me… you make me into someone I couldn’t even imagine.

Most of Set’s forces were running towards our boat, screaming and throwing rocks (which tended to fall down and hit them, but no one says demons are bright).

I’ve always just tried to be myself, which is such a weird thing to say.

Being honest doesn’t mean you say whatever you want, wherever you want. It means that what you choose to say is true.
