People seem to think you can change cars and just get on with life. Sometimes you do, but it was quite tough for me to understand the whole philosophy and to drive the car.

But when you are focused on your job, if you know you have given your very best, no matter where you finished, then that is great.

I had other proposals and I was talking to people but then I decided that staying at Ferrari would give me my best chance of winning the championship.

At Ferrari they didn't give me the space, and at Honda I had the space but I didn't have the machinery.

I don't think it's the writer's job to give answers or to give opinions. In fact, when a writer has answers, I think the work ends up being corrupted. It becomes didactic. What a book does is share a consciousness and invite people to explore the questions as best as you can.

I never fought for money. I had a good career and legacy as featherweight champion.

I didn't want to do all of the mags, and we didn't get paid for those shoots - 'Hollyoaks' took the fee. But I couldn't say no to everything. I felt lucky to have the job I was doing, so I went along with it. And when I did 'Maxim,' I knew that stars like Eva Longoria had also been on the cover, so I was in good company.

Having a solo career is a funny thing.
