Samuel Butler

Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.

Malcolm Stevenson Forbes

At the end of the day, my natural habitat is in a car and I am happiest in that environment.

Maria de Villota

He is still my father. He is still a person I know I could trust and he would never do anything against me. Once you're at the top, there are not many people like that. People always want something from you.
