Michael Schumacher

I know what I am, and what I have to do in my profession, so I can handle the pressure. It's the way I think.

I have to say it's been tough to leave the Ferrari family, which has been a big part of my career.

When you start out in a team, you have to get the teamwork going and then you get something back.

If you do things to the limit, and don't purposely go over that limit, then I think it's fine to do whatever you want. So long as you enjoy it. That's what's important.

People get excited around me and behave differently than they would normally. I don't feel different from anyone else, except that I drive a racing car round in circles faster than somebody else.

The first thing, when I got the money, I knew I would support somebody. And the person I supported was my family. Because we were really in debt with the money. And - so I gave to my father this suitcase full of money. And he couldn't believe it. And that was something very special.

If you're lucky enough to be famous, then it's great if you can use your fame and the power your fame gives you to draw attention to things that really matter.

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.

I'm not very comfortable with what people sometimes say or think about me - things I don't feel responsible for.

Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.

I like to share my life, and spend time with someone I love. That has worked 100 per cent with my wife.

I have been a huge fan of America, as I find their way of life there is pretty unique, and I have enjoyed a lot of good times over there.
