How you go about testing is just very different to just being in the situation of qualifying, having to go out, having to nail the lap.

Building a mission and building a business go hand in hand. The primary thing that excites me is the mission. But we have always had a healthy understanding that we need to do both.

I’ve done films where we don’t rehearse, and I’ve done films where we heavily rehearse. I like rehearsals.

Test a servant while in the discharge of his duty, a relative in difficulty, a friend in adversity, and a wife in misfortune.

An army marches on its stomach.

I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it.

There are some singers that know exactly when to go, and others hang on much too long and that is the same, that is the same with judges.

As long as I stay in training and play well, I don’t see what objection there can be to what I do off the field.

It’s a juicy thing to say we’re building a phone, which is why people want to write about it. But it’s so clearly the wrong strategy for us.

As a kid, I’d go into the bathroom when I was having a tantrum. I’d be in the bathroom crying, studying myself in the mirror. I was preparing for future roles.

The writing is important, but the way you say the line and the pause you give it, the facial expression – all of that is very important.

I am confident that when the facts and policies have been examined, when the record of performances have been reviewed, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will once again be elected to lead our beloved country to a better future.

We record when I have a hole in the schedule. Sometimes night, sometimes afternoon, sometimes morning – we fit it in when we can. I prep for episodes all the time.

Actors know, with me they aren’t going to be allowed to rehearse a scene for a couple of hours and then get away with doing 25 takes before we get it right. So they come with their full bag of tricks.

Is it not strange that desire should so many years outlive performance?

You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.

Forethought we may have, undoubtedly, but not foresight.

I love eating chocolate cake and ice cream after a show. I almost justify it in my mind as, ‚You were a good boy onstage and you did your show, so now you can have some cake and ice cream.‘

When you’re in comedy, people always come up and say, ‚Oh, it must be so hard.‘ It really isn’t hard unless you’re not good at it. If you can do it, its really kind of fun and easy.

I learned how important it is to entertain people and give them a reason to come and watch you play.

I used to watch MotoGP quite a bit, I liked MotoGP. I had a motorbike before I had a go-kart and before I had a motorbike I had a quad bike but I was too dangerous, and before I did quad biking I did horse riding, so it’s been a long journey.

Stage actors are usually much more conscious of speaking up and making sure that everyone can hear in the back of the theatre; a film actor probably thinks of that a little less.

Let’s just be smart this time. I’m looking for smart.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

When you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.

‚Tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems.

When I started analysing games in 2001, I had a DVD recorder. I’d be at home watching the games just on a normal TV, watching what I could and trying to figure out what we would be facing a few weeks later. The problem was, in the team meetings, I’d always have to keep going back and forwards with the footage, trying to get to the right part.

You can sometimes play some really good football and not score.

Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me. Every night I had a live audience of 25,000 people to win over. My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.

My faith was tested like Job. That’s the message I try to tell other people: just because you believe in God, serve God, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, people gotta realize, it don’t mean things not gonna happen to you.

When you campaign and have to participate in so many debates just to the win the nomination of your party, you’ve had a lot of practice. You get to figure out as you go from one debate to another where you made your mistakes. By the time you get to the big debate you’re pretty polished.

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

In business, the idea of measuring what you are doing, picking the measurements that count like customer satisfaction and performance… you thrive on that.

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

To be announced as a race driver for McLaren is a dream come true.

WIth football you can have up to 28 guys you consider starters, and if they can pick up the slack when some aren’t playing so well, you don’t have to turn those two game losing streaks into six-game losing streaks.

I’m not a photographer, so I didn’t get into F-stops or ND filters or background, foreground, cross-light, all that stuff. But I was interested in the camera and the lenses. That’s the world that I’m moving in, in terms of acting and giving a performance.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

Probably the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing-fields of Eton, but the opening battles of all subsequent wars have been lost there.

I’m not really an actor, I’m a reactor; I’m a pitchman. That’s what I do best. Nobody can do it any better.

There are very few people who really appreciate my shows. People come to the show and they pay and they enjoy it, but I don’t really think most people really understand what they’ve seen.

See first, think later, then test. But always see first. Otherwise, you will only see what you were expecting. Most scientists forget that.

I like entertaining people. I really miss it.

I left school to concentrate on racing. It was a family decision between my mum, dad and myself.

I never intended for the Monster Ball to be a religious experience, it just became one.

If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.

And I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.

If you watch any good player, they’re using different parts of their body and working with instruments that respond to those movements. They’re moving in many dimensions at once.

I raced with my brother from when I started to 2014 when I finished karting.

Players who are not from the U.K. have to get used to the winds. I have to adapt my style as a result as well. Often, you are forced to keep things simple.

From a young age, I learned to focus on the things I was good at and delegate to others what I was not good at. That’s how Virgin is run. Fantastic people throughout the Virgin Group run our businesses, allowing me to think creatively and strategically.

Before I do a stunt, I have to make sure it is safe.
