Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.
Valentino Rossi

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.

I was lucky. My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.

Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.

Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: 'Why am I racing?' I race because I like it, because I'm really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I'm still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence.

I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.

We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.

I am completely focused on being strong, riding fast, and enjoying myself. With the new generation of riders, only the chronometer counts. I need to be faster than them on track.
Valentino Rossi

I have so much respect for my opponents many of them watched the races as little children and were supporting me!
Valentino Rossi

I like physical exercise. I actually like sports in general. I really like snowboarding and playing soccer, too.

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

Friendship is very important to me. With some friends, we've known each other since we were kids and it's a very strong relationship. They always tell me what they think even when I am wrong. It's great to share with them the best moments. I also have many friends in the team, and I like to share my passion with them.

In 2009, I didn't like that Yamaha signed such a young and competitive teammate [Jorge Lorenzo]. But now everything is different. We are more mature. Everyone knows his role and position. Things are clear.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
