Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything, without reticence, without hesitation.

Racing amuses me.

The era of gentleman racing drivers is ended.

One must keep working continuously; otherwise, one thinks of death.

I have yet to meet anyone quite so stubborn as myself and animated by this overpowering passion that leaves me no time for thought or anything else. I have, in fact, no interest in life outside racing cars.

The client is not always right.
