“Everything comes to those who wait… except a cat.”

If you go off the road, you’re into somebody’s shop-window or front porch.

Motor racing is like one big family, ultimately, and when you come back to it, that’s really what it feels like.

I’ve driven just about every kind of car there is.

I count my blessings every day, quite honestly, because I take nothing for granted.

If the Indy Racing League didn’t have the Indianapolis 500, do you think it would have lasted more than six months? No chance.

It seemed like whenever I got a bona fide offer from Ferrari, I couldn’t do it. And vice versa – when I was ready, their seats were taken.
