In karting, in the European races, you have the cameras and the film crews and you do interviews. At around 13 I’d already started doing bit of media and it just increases more and more with every level you take, especially when you get into cars – and when you hit F1 it’s an even higher step up. It’s something you get used to over time.

Many people listen to what I have to say and I appear a lot in media, so therefore I influence a lot of people and therefore I have a bigger responsibility because I have a bigger platform.

I hate interviews – but you have to do them.

I don’t think the Christian Right dominates America in the way some in the media believe they do.

I know a lot of people say they always believed they could get into F1, but I didn’t quite believe that, certainly not when I was 7 and maybe not until I was 14. It was always so far away.

Most rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, for people who can’t read.

The press is the enemy.

I need to do well and show I’m a worthy driver in F1.

People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.

We are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.

The Pirellis you can push for a couple of laps and then you’ve got to start saving. It’s not easy.

I did suffer a lot since karting, with my size and everything, not really having a clue what to do when I started karting. So I suffered in every category: F4, F3, F2. Not so much F2 but I’ve had to kind of play catch-up quite a bit and in some ways, F1 was a bit nicer with power steering.

All of the Vines that were acted & setup & had nice cameras, those weren’t the good Vines. The good Vines were, like, a random little kid in the middle of a forest, like, yelling.

If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.

I feel like I might be a designer or stylist – or a director because I have always been super interested in cameras and editing.

It’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.

I turned away from bikes when I got a bambino kart for my seventh birthday and started doing some karting, just around some cones at home, but I didn’t think at that point I knew I wanted to go into F1, it was more just for fun.

Journalism largely consists of saying ‚Lord Jones is Dead‘ to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.

With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.

A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.

My dad kind of liked racing and motorsports, but wasn’t a big fan, it wasn’t like he watched every race or whatever.

I go on The Daily Beast. The Daily Beast is one of the websites that I check out.

You do get certain publications in the States where, if things don’t go according to plan, they flip the story and it becomes very negative.

The ads all call me fearless, but that’s just publicity. Anyone who thinks I’m not scared out of my mind whenever I do one of my stunts is crazier than I am.

F2 cars have downforce; they’re quick. But it’s difficult for your brain and eyes to keep up with everything that’s going on once you’re in an F1 car. You get used to it and you learn to stay calm, because if you react too quickly the opposite will happen. Being more relaxed is when it becomes more natural and controlled.

I know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, ‚I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!‘ is so sociologically fascinating that I think I’d better watch.

When you’re faced with an opponent, the media asks the questions, and I answer truthfully. I don’t hold back.

One Ad is worth more to a paper than forty Editorials.

I’ve been getting some bad publicity – but you got to expect that.

McLaren were one of the first teams I liked and supported.

Cameras aren’t guns. They can’t really hurt you.

I’m a singer, not a politician, and I think you don’t want the two to get confused. It’s not OK to be on CNN talking about people starving and then tell the interviewer that your new album is coming out in six months.

I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I’ve done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it’s nice to be able to have things coming straight from me.

I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.

I’m definitely more one of the drivers who would want to do Daytona, Le Mans, and the Indy 500.

In my research, I’ve interviewed a lot of people who never fit in, who are what you might call ‚different‘: scientists, artists, thinkers. And if you drop down deep into their work and who they are, there is a tremendous amount of self-acceptance.

I can’t remember what made my dad take us karting for the first time, I can’t remember really. I was into motorsport by then and I knew everything, and every driver, it was around 2009, 2008. That’s when I first properly knew about Formula One. Those were the days.

I saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It’s what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.

If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people – including me – would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

On TV the people can see it. On radio you’ve got to create it.

The government has completed the entire process to do away with interviews for lower rank jobs. There will be no requirement of interview for Group D,C and B non-gazetted posts in central government.

The press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing.

People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.

What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.

I think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.

Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.

I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn’t ever have to rely on the press for my information.

Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.

Our most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don’t think the press has understood me.

His father is governor of Media, and though he has the greatest command given him of all the rest of my generals, he still covetously desires more, and my being without issue spurs him on to this wicked design. But Philotas takes wrong measures.

Newspapers are the second hand of history. This hand, however, is usually not only of inferior metal to the other hands, it also seldom works properly.

Journalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark.

Everybody is entertained to death.

Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.

I make pop culture.

Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.

It seems like F1 is kind of going down that route, opening it up more to the public and letting them know what is going on, what you do, instead of just driving and going home.

The most violent show on TV is the six o’clock news.

We’re news junkies in my house.

Digital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.

I think the F2 tyres are probably one of the hardest things to adapt to, harder than the Formula One Pirellis were to get used to.
