family healthy racing
I am healthy, my family is healthy. That is the important thing. After that we go racing.
dad race two
You know, when my dad was a racing fan in Australia he would follow Jack Brabham and sometimes only hear if he won two days after a race - when the result finally appeared in his newspaper. These days I can tweet something and it's all over the world in seconds.
kind whatever-happens happens
I don't really know what I'm ever looking for, it's kind of like whatever happens to resonate at the time with me.
ipods effort lazy
When I'm driving I should make more of an effort with my iPod, but I'm too lazy to organise a playlist.
writing theme process
For me writing and filmmaking is a therapeutic process. It reflects themes that I'm going through at a time in my life.
term cockpit formulas
Formula one is very one-dimensional in terms of what we do in the cockpit.
responsibility racing mind
For me to train and get ready for racing, I can't just sit in the gym all the time and that's the way it is. Responsibility starts and stops with me. My main gig is grand prix driving, that's what I do and I need to keep that in the forefront of my mind.
winning two track
Winning in Monaco is always special. That track has always been good to me. I won there in Formula 3000, battled for the victory with Williams in 2006 and now I've won two of the last three grands prix there.
umpires cry cases
The system is in place whereby if an umpire cries off, or both as was the case here, those umpires are to be replaced.
team people effort
I love putting things together. I love putting together a team and making stuff with people. It's great, that's what's cool about movies it's such a collaborative effort.
being-yourself real giving
When people can be vulnerable to one another then you're kind of giving people permission to really be yourself and not try to impress all the time and you get into more interesting work. You're being real and you're not afraid to mess up or seem weird.
fun believe play
That's the fun thing about making movies is that you get to do stuff. You get to be things, say things that you're not, kind of walk in someone else's shoes and play dress up and make believe. It's pretty cool.
bullshit filmmaking
A lot of filmmaking is all about filtering out the bullshit.
absolutely cup extremely leave love monaco rest
I love driving at Monaco but the rest of it, well, I can absolutely take it or leave it. It's extremely pretentious and really not my cup of tea.
