| 1 | Jean Todt's system will never succeed, not even with Michael Schumacher |
| 2 | Giving up is something a Lauda doesn't do. |
| 3 | Running an airline is a normal job. Racing is more. |
| 4 | The crucial point is always the own cost structure. Therefore I created a Low Cost alliance with air Berlin. |
| 5 | Happiness is an enemy. It weakens you. Suddenly, you have something to lose. |
| 6 | Airlines go in the long run at the competition to reason. For the passenger the competition is good, because each competitor tries to undercut the other one. |
| 7 | In Germany air became generally accepted Berlin in this area. It operated with 45 airplanes within the Low Cost range from Germany, and is one the most successful carriers in Europe. |
| 8 | Vienna is the gate to Eastern Europe. |
| 9 | I want to bring passengers on my airplanes to present to them my product. |
| 10 | I employ 20 people in Vienna. The other 130 coworkers are pilots and flight companions. The Overhead is limited with me. Reduces naturally the costs of my fliers. |
| 11 | I've been through a lot and I realize the future can't be controlled. I'm not worried. You can always learn to overcome difficulties. |
| 12 | You appreciate that it is very easy to die and you have to arrange your life to cope with that reality. |
| 13 | The alliance with air Berlin is attractive for me. I can use the whole sales network of the air Berlin and 24 percent of my own airline at air Berlin sold. |
| 14 | This aircraft tops everything. All the others look old as compared to this one. |
| 15 | A lot of people criticize Formula 1 as an unnecessary risk. But what would life be like if we only did what is necessary? |
| 16 | There are more important things in life than the world championship, like staying alive. |
| 17 | I always go extreme ways. |
| 18 | [re his injuries after famous 1976 accident] At the time I was upset by how people reacted. They wouldn't look me in the eye, which I thought was rude. But I have to say I was startled by the movie and I understand now. [Rival racer James] Hunt used to say to me: 'Niki, you're lucky. Some people are just born ugly, but you have the excuse of an accident.' |
| 19 | [re making of Rush (2013)] I had been approached before, but the ideas always seemed to me boring. Peter Morgan and Ron Howard - these are the right people. Ron Howard had no idea about racing. He was like a little kid, with unbelievable enthusiasm. But the story comes very well across. |
