“Can the U.S. support two Formula 1 races? I think so.”

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.

I don’t want to go out there and do something 3,000 other people can do.

I’m fighting against becoming soft. That’s the worst thing you can say to a basketball player.

I can’t even give my father a proper gift. Every single Father’s Day means so much to me. I’m so close to him. He’s my big brother, but also my father.

The helpless can’t help the helpless.

I can’t wait until I get to play the fat guy in the office.

If you’re in a small town somewhere and you can go and visit Paris, you can go to the top of Everest, that’s just cool. It’s worth it because you become more educated in something.

Love is the one thing that can really sure-enough lighten all of life’s dark clouds.

I guess you can say I ‘do the Twist.’ I like playful dance moves that aren’t too serious.

If the writing is honest it cannot be separated from the man who wrote it.
