Jackie Stewart

From today I am no longer a racing driver. I'm retired and I am very happy.

Cornering is like bringing a woman to climax.

It takes leadership to improve safety. And I started off the movement in my time, but the person who has done more over the past 20 to 30 years and who has led it is Professor Sid Watkins.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

The thing about Paris, it's a great city for wandering around and buying shoes and nursing a cafe au lait for hours on end and pretending you're Baudelaire. But it's not a city where you can work.
