I haven't been walking around for years with some burning desire to do a solo record. If I had, maybe I'd have made a record that was experimental. Usually, the idea of a solo record is to get some weird stuff out of your system, but I don't think like that. I wasn't interested in making something that was a hard listen - maybe I'll get around to that some other time. I wanted it to sound effortless, not like I was trying to reinvent the wheel.

Johnny Marr

I did not know about awards. I just wanted to break the world record and the Olympic record.

Milkha Singh

Since I was 10 years old, I knew I wanted to sail around the world.

Laura Dekker

My dad really wanted to learn how to sail and, when I was 16, he became a quarter partner in this small, 24-foot trimaran.Three weeks a year, I'd go with him and we'd sail from Florida out around the Bahamas.

Travis Rice

I have to have the reasons to make the record. There are just too many records out there, especially when it's something as audacious as a solo percussion record with solo drumming music on it. There better be a reason behind it.

Glenn Kotche

Sail on, sail on, o' might Ship of State. To the shores of need, past the reefs of greed, through the squalls of hate. Sail on, sail on, sail on.

Leonard Cohen

I've always wanted to sail around the world in a handmade boat and I built a boat.

I wanted to emphasize the fact that I'd matured. I wanted to break away from the image of being the youngest member of Big Bang, as well as the image I gave off on variety shows.

Seungri

There's a scary moment when you realise you're no longer the youngest person in the room. Especially if you've been a successful young person. That's followed, of course, by the realisation that you're actually the oldest person in the room.

Helen Mirren

I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60?s or 70?s recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year, the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.

Everything happened very quickly in my career. It was a very great honor for me to break Jim Clarks record (as youngest champion).

Emerson Fittipaldi

Already in 2007 I thought I would be able to break the World record in the near future. That time Sammy Tangui was the pacemaker in Lausanne. I liked the way he was running. He is tall, he has a strong body and his stride is similar to mine. I told him in one of the coming years I would need him when I try to break the World record.
