Not everybody would choose to be a firefighter or an ambulance driver. Not everyone wants to see the nasty bits of life.
A few people have said my granddad looks like me, but I reckon he's far better looking.
When TV companies stop coming up with ideas, and I've got to go and do 'Celebrity Big Brother,' I don't want that to happen.
People who race bikes don't talk about crashes. They keep going.
I get home from work at six or seven. When I'm busy, I set my alarm for three, get out of bed at quarter past three. I have a cup of tea and read a magazine and take the dogs for a walk up the lane. Go through my text messages and reply to anything that needs it, then get my biking gear on ready to cycle to work.
I can't stop biting off more than I can chew.
It's bred in me that I only see real work as getting stuck in and getting your hands dirty.
I'm not much of a chef, so people keep buying me cookery books to broaden my culinary horizons, but I've not got far past shepherd's pie yet.
I remember, my first season was 1999, and I must have crashed about 13 times in that first year. But then, in the second season, you crash about half as much and then, in the third year, even less again.
For my first race, when I was 19, I'd bought a 600cc bike. And that was far too big for me, really. I shouldn't have really had something like that. But anyway, I went and raced, and I crashed. In my very first race! But I never gave in. I kept going back and back and back.
They don't call it the Wall of Death for nothing. The biggest risk is crashing off the top. That's when it gets really messy.
I work nights on a farm in the summer when harvest starts. I work on a civil engineering site down the Humber Docks where all the refineries are. So that's my day job from seven to four. And then I build engines at night.
I'd never be disrespectful to road racing. The sport was good to me.
I have a night job driving tractors on biomass farms.
I'm a bit embarrassed about how little I know about the First World War. I didn't even know that tanks were used in it.
I don't go to racers' funerals.
I feel that I'm in good company behind the wheel of the Williams FW08C. It was the first F1 car to be driven by the great Ayrton Senna, and it won the 1983 Monaco Grand Prix.
As far as I am concerned, the Ulster Grand Prix is my favourite race.
I'm a great believer in setting myself goals, and I like to think that, once I've a goal to aim for, I'll do whatever it takes to achieve it.
The only thing I keep from the races I've won are the handle bar grips from the bike, the rubber bits.
