I think there is no defending a title. You don't go into a season with a points advantage over anyone. So I don't think it's ever a title defence. I think you've got a different number on your bike, if you choose so, but everyone starts at zero again.

Casey Stoner

I can only do what I can do.

Casey Stoner

I'm very thoughtful, and when I make a decision I usually stick to it.

Casey Stoner

I think I don't really have any expectations; I don't look at the season as a whole - I look at it race by race.

Casey Stoner

I've said many times in the past that my career's not going to go on much longer; I'm not going to keep going and riding until I'm in my 30s and things like this.

Casey Stoner

Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent.

Casey Stoner

The money doesn't interest me. I'm not enjoying MotoGP, and I'm retiring.

Casey Stoner

Even in motocross, you're struggling to see people pass each other anymore. There seems to be one line in motocross.

Casey Stoner

I have been going from one racetrack to another for years, since I was 14.

Casey Stoner

I've always known there's more to life than just racing for a long time.

Casey Stoner

Once I decided to retire from bikes, there was no thought to go racing again. I wanted to have a full year off and maybe even see the world a bit.

Casey Stoner

I'm not always going to keep waiting for a fairytale ending.

Casey Stoner

People can be great competitors on Sunday and mates on Monday.

Casey Stoner

In 2007, people tried to belittle me a little bit and sort of take the credit away from me and my team and what we achieved.

Casey Stoner

Everyone seems quite good at stories and making them up.

Casey Stoner

I'm good at separating my personal life from racing. When I'm at track, it's race time; when I'm away from it, other than the fact I'm training to be fit for it, there is nothing at home that makes me even want to think about racing. I just want to enjoy my life, and by the time the next race comes around, I'm ready and excited for it.

Casey Stoner

People are telling me I might be going back to MotoGP, but a rumour is a rumour.

Casey Stoner

I never really look too far ahead, to be honest.

Casey Stoner

There are a lot of good guys that I race against, and that's what I enjoy the most.

Casey Stoner

I have been interested in V8s for a long time.
