Formula 1 is the sort of place where people tend to have an opinion about everything, and usually, they tend to believe their own opinion is the right one, even if it relates to someone else.
So many people get content. So many people stop when they're at the top. They'll let someone take their place because they're relaxing. That's not going to happen.
As for leadership, I am the kind who leads reluctantly and more by example than anything else. Someone had to be on the incorporation papers as president.
When I really love someone, I can only show it by making aggressive and bad-taste remarks.
I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.
When you reminisce aren't the times that someone's forcing you to reminisce. You reminisce other times in your life.
I felt that Stephen had become such a significant figure, a scientist of such international renown, that at some future date, someone would be sure to attempt an inaccurate, sensationalised biography, possibly including me, possibly writing me out of the script.
If Saddam were to be replaced tomorrow he would probably be replaced with someone who's just as bad or worse than he is.
I would not like to be replaced by someone who immediately sets about undoing what I've tried to do for 25-26 years.
Someone asked me years ago if it were true that I disliked Jews, and I replied that it was certainly true, not at all because they are Jews but because they are folks, and I don't like folks.
From the first time someone says, Who do you think you are? we learn how to repress.
Any time I meet someone or learn about someone that's really interesting or inspiring to me or has a story that really resonates with me, I just cold call them, and I try to meet him or her.
I think my dad is highly gender-neutral. If he doesn't like someone, he'll articulate that, and I think it's also part of what resonates about him. He'll say what he's thinking.
But my manners also came from when I was in college and began participating in critiques. You have to speak with someone respectfully about their work and be honest and open, without hurting them.
Whether it's police officers, firefighters, first responders, or 911 dispatchers, many dedicated Americans work long hours, and often in difficult conditions, to make sure that when someone's in need, they can help.
I guess we're all lucky to be in this profession where you can be someone else for two or three months on a film shoot. I find it restful. Vachement agreable.
Even if someone does say something negative, it does not give us a reason to retaliate; just take the high road and don't say anything.
I'm not someone who comes onstage and says, 'I'm rewriting this now.' I don't think it's fair to the writers or the director, or the other actors.
As someone from a developing country, I have a problem with rich countries thinking they can tell us anything, simply because they are giving money.
I mean, before this, I would have said playing Bill Gates, because I'm playing someone obviously who is alive and is the richest man in the world. That was a heavy responsibility.
