“I don’t care too much what happened in the past.”

It feels very special, but I acknowledge that the old master, Nigel Mansell, took his 14 poles from only 16 races.

When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.

I put everything in that last lap, it was very emotional when I crossed the line. It was all I had, I gave it all.

Driving at high speed where safe and legal is part of my life. As well as a higher top speed I wanted even better stability in my FX and that meant work on the

Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.

The track in Abu Dhabi is special; this will be our third Grand Prix there.

When I went into the last lap I was regretting a bit that it was over. I was enjoying again the first sector for the last time.

The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don’t have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.

All in all it was a smooth race, the car was very well balanced. I’m very proud to be the first winner here in India.

If you are out in two races and someone else has a good couple of races, it could change. So all we do is try to get the optimum every time.

I’m very proud to be the first winner of the Indian Grand Prix, but then on the other hand we recently lost two of our mates.

Motorsport is very expensive. No one cares if you had a good season two years ago and then you have an injury. It is a very dodgy investment.

There are some things that you can fulfil with money, but at the end of the day these are not the things that make you happy. It is the small things that make life good.

It’s fantastic to be invited; I’m so happy. To represent Team Germany together with Michael Schumacher is a great honor.

I don’t care what other people think as long as I am happy.

I think there’s a lot of evolution that’s happened in intangible ways, in terms of how I think about the work or how I plan it out.

I had to find a way to be more honest about what happened. And it wasn’t fun to write, even though the poems aren’t 100% autobiographical.

We’re a long way from the embargo ending. Look at what just happened with the rollback of Obama’s Cuba policies. Two idiot congressmen convinced our idiot president to make it harder on Cubans on the island.

I knew all the time I was going to get through the war. It was completely irrational, a silly idea, but I was not going to lie down and get myself killed. I was going to get out of it.

I mean, nothing ever really happened with ’em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.

What I love about doing my concerts is always feeding off the fans and their energy.

The job at Brooklyn is interesting because Brooklyn reflects what happened to university art departments everywhere. It might be the worst department now, and yet at one point it was the best in the country.

Once you come and see Kiss, you either love us or you hate us.
