My conviction is that a full professional also wants to live professionally.

I have a philosophy. I was convinced of it, and by winning trophies in four countries, I proved the philosophy worked.

You are always evaluating. That philosophy is very important for me. Because of that, I am - or maybe I should say was - a very successful manager.

Yes, I have a philosophy, and you have to come with good arguments to change that philosophy, but, if someone has a better argument than me, then I will change.

I sort of tried to get a basketball scholarship out of high school, but that didn't happen. Then I started working for UPS, and that paid for tuition for school. I moved to a bigger town, Louisville. I did it for a year. I had to work the graveyard shift. And then you get off at eight for classes, so that sucked. Then I dropped out.

Actors need bricks to play with, and in fact we rejected all the improvised fragments we had made without a plan. Improvisation without a plan is like tennis without tennis balls.

I get kids from all different cultures and nationalities coming up to me now, all wanting to be F1 drivers. They feel the sport is open to everyone.

Who's on my radar? I don't have a radar. I always look at myself as a top athlete. They come after me. I don't go after them because I'm where they want to be.
