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.

The effect of power and publicity on all men is the aggravation of self, a sort of tumor that ends by killing the victim’s sympathies.

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.

Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.

I don’t call up the press and say, ‚Look at me!‘

I don’t think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.

If anything, I get most upset because I wanna read a good paper first thing in the morning. And if I see a lie about myself flash across the front of the cover, I don’t think much of the rest of the newspaper.

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

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

There’s so much about Dolly Parton that every female artist should look to, whether it’s reading her quotes or reading her interviews or going to one of her live shows. She’s been such an amazing example to every female songwriter out there.

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.

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

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

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.

I’ve been reading tabloids since I was nine. I love a good story.

The press is the enemy.

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

Journalism keeps you planted in the earth.

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.

Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.

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

Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.

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

Without publicity there can be no public support, and without public support every nation must decay.

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.

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.

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.

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

I like Ryan Gosling as an actor. I watch all of his movies, and he’s Canadian and I just like his swag. I read his interviews and I’m a big fan of his.

I make pop culture.

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 who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.

All in all, I just don’t trust journalists – and I don’t think it’s a good practice for me to trust journalists.

If Jesus were here today, he wouldn’t be riding around on a donkey. He’d be taking a plane, he’d be using the media.

I’m not besotted with the notion of being on CNN to the point that I’m going to suddenly morph into Anderson Cooper or Christiane Amanpour. I’m not a foreign correspondent.

Ought we not to ask the media to agree among themselves a voluntary code of conduct, under which they would not say or show anything which could assist the terrorists‘ morale or their cause while the hijack lasted.

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

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.

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

We’re news junkies in my house.

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

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

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

The money in politics is a cash cow for the media.

Everybody is entertained to death.

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

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

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 read the NY Times but I don’t trust all of it.

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

When you’re young, you look at television and think, there’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

I definitely wasn’t anything special when I first started but I think I adapted quite quickly into racing and it became a bit better slowly. All of cadets, the first four years of karting, I only won one proper race, one! Which was the British Open Championship at PFI and I started 21st and I won.

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.

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 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.

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

I get to hear the really good or the really bad things in the press, but I don’t read it. I can afford to say that because public opinion does not drive U2’s audience.

In my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we’d go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father’s televised service for 17 years.

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