When you have rubbish stuff coming your way, you have to let go.

I believe that everyone has a right to have an opinion about things or people, and fortunately, I have been lucky to have heard usually good things about myself. However, I must admit that people can be quite critical about your role also.

My career choices aren't based on the popularity of my character; I have never intended to capitalise on my fan base.

With respect to keeping your sanity, the more you are dedicated to your job, the more you think about it. And there is so much to think about for the director.

You can be out of slavery and have the right to vote, but unless you have access to capital, industry and technology, you can't fulfill your dreams.

If you have issues with family, friends, and people at work, try and solve these issues head on so you can move on and concentrate on having the life you want.

Those people that are close to me understand me and know me and know who I am outside the race track as a person and a friend, and that's why I'm able to continue to have the relationships and the sponsorships that I do.

The only honest reaction and true loyalty we get is from our animals. Once they're your friends, you can do no wrong.
