I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it but they're happy if they do get it.

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

Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness so that one may be happy in the interim.

Such is the state of life that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing when we have made it the next wish is to change again.

Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change.

It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.

On one level nothing's really changed in my life. I still drive my daughter in the car pool on Monday. But it's impossible not to be aware of this rush of attention it's impossible not to be seduced by it once you've entered into it seduced by being unhappy when the attention wanes.

I wasn't going to get such a nice car - I was going to get a cute little hybrid or something keep the trees happy - but then my grandfather died and it was all: retail therapy!

Have you ever noticed how nice people are at the car wash?! Maybe it's just me but it makes me happy. Weird I know!

Here's the thing that I think about life - if you manage to get into a space where you don't need that much where the overhead of your life is not that great and you're pretty happy and relaxed without that much stuff you are really liberated because you never have to say yes to something because you want another refrigerator or car!
