I have two or three cars that I like, but today, Ferrari would be the best car I have driven in terms of being an impressive car.

If it stands the test of public scrutiny, do it… if it doesn’t stand the test of public scrutiny then don’t do it.

Take the stones people throw at you. and use them to build a monument.

I may have hurt some people along the way, but I would like to be seen as somebody who has done his best to do the right thing for any situation and not compromised.
