team numbers ferrari
I will do everything I can to bring the number one to Ferrari. The whole team and all the fans deserve it.
nice racing mind
I didn't have statistics in my mind when I was racing. It was always a consequence - a nice consequence. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't the reason I was racing.
football needs enjoy
In football, I need full concentration even though I really enjoy it.
different-opinions impossible blame
With this type of thing there are always different opinions and mine is that it is impossible to blame either one of us. [on a crash with Heidfeld]
liking-someone wife share
I like to share my life, and spend time with someone I love. That has worked 100 per cent with my wife.
want able normal
I just want to be known as a very normal person and be treated as that and be able to walk down the street like anyone else.
motivation tired passion
I retired simply because I didn't have the passion and motivation anymore; I was tired. At the time I thought, 'Well, I had a great time, there is the end.' At some moment, there is the right time to call it an end.
alive needs wonder
If you're curious, if you have a capacity for wonder, if you're alive, you know all that you need to know [about music].
sadness differences vibrations
The big difference between human happiness and sadness? Thirty-seven freakin' vibrations.
editors hybridity directors
Being a conductor is kind of a hybrid profession because most fundamentally, it is being someone who is a coach, a trainer, an editor, a director.
journey thinking voyages
And what classical music does best and must always do more, is to show this kind of transformation of moods, to show a very wide psychological voyage. And I think that's something that we as classical musicians have underestimated.
musical bells pushing
It's easier to interest a conservative audience in pushing the musical boundaries than to involve a young audience used to very noisy, assertive music in something like Schubert or Bach because the further back you go, the less bells and whistles there are.
alive way messages
Part of my big message with all this is that if you are alive, you know all you need to know about the message of classical music, because more than any other music, it is about the way life really is.
vocabulary challenges thank-god
Thank God for movie music. It preserves the rich vocabulary in classical music through challenging times.
