My first memory of motor racing - I think it was just attending a go kart race.

It changes from track-to-track, but when you are behind someone, you know after a few laps where they are weaker and stronger around the lap. You try to position yourself in the best possible way to attack them at a point they don't expect or at the point that they are just not as strong as you. That's how you try to get past.

My career is more important than girls.

You always try to fight for yourself, isn't it? You try to do the best possible job.

When I started out as a little kid, I didn't say 'I just want to run football.' I wanted to be a great athlete.

To be an Olympic athlete is an honour, a privilege. They're so respected. This is my dream. I have to do this.

Tennis is what I've always wanted to do, so it is my dream to be on top.

I always say that if you stay with a good coach, the relationship between him and his team becomes like a family: he becomes a father with his children.
