I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.

The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.

You don't suffer kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.

Perhaps the single most important element in mastering the techniques and tactics of racing is experience. But once you have the fundamentals acquiring the experience is a matter of time.

The secret to a long-lasting relationship is perpetually imagining the worst. It's a world view tracing back to my Eastern European ancestry and one I draw upon regularly.

We don't do things we aren't good at by nature. I wouldn't play basketball because I'm only 5' 1". Find what you enjoy - whether it's racing, flying a helicopter, being a doctor, or stitching clothes together. Once you've done that, you have the passion you need.

Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue now supported by most Americans. Still a few people like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.

Football management is such a pressurised thing - horseracing is a release. I'm also learning to play the piano - I'm quite determined - it's another release from the pressure of my job.

Human dignity is better served by embracing knowledge.

There are so many things to talk about between black people Hispanic people white people gay people men women it's all based on fear. We all have fears this thing that stops us from embracing as we are one. We are never going to be one. People are messed up but humor lets us see how ignorant we can be.
