Everybody has a gun in their car in Detroit.
I was an economics major in college and every summer after school I would drive my car from California from Claremont men's college at the time to New York. And I worked on Wall Street.
Life's too short when you find yourself sitting in a car for four hours every day trying to get from East L.A. to West L.A. to Hollywood and then back to East L.A.
There is no secret once we go to qualifying we all seem to enjoy it. Qualifying is all about putting everything that you have and that the car has in one lap. It's like a rush I really enjoy that.

I've tried everything other than jumping out of a plane but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car.
Sometimes I feel like I'm not only the engine but the caboose. I have to be in the front car and pull forward and at the same time run around behind and push everybody along with me.
You're pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.
A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.
When you're in a car which can win every race or fight for a win every race that is pressure.
I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.
Johnny Guitar... just one of my favorite singers of all time. I met him when we were both on the road with Johnny Otis in the '50s when I was a teenager. We traveled the country in a car together.I would hear him sing every night.
The only thing I do on a computer is play Texas Hold 'Em really. Obviously my cell phone is a computer. My car is a computer. I'm on computers every day without actively seeking them out.
The thing people don't understand is that touring or travelling or whatever you do in my position means you go to all these cool places all over the world but you see everything from a car window. You don't get to see much of the city or meet people at all.
Racism has been for everyone like a horrible tragic car crash and we've all been heavily sedated from it. If we don't come into consciousness of this tragedy there's going to be a violent awakening we don't want. The question is can we wake up?
I think women like Ferraris. A Ferrari is everybody's car.
I'm a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself that's great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me.
No matter how good you are how brave you are or anything it comes down to that car so many times. Not every time but so many times.
Every time I get into a Nationwide car after being in a Cup car I feel so much more comfortable than I did previously.
It's like it's kind of like if you ever had a car and it was a bit of a clunker but you love it that's my show. It's a bit of a clunker but I know where everything is and I like it.
Spending $1 for a brand new house would feel very very good. Spending $1 000 for a ham sandwich would feel very very bad. Spending $19 000 for a small family car would feel well more or less right. But as with physical pain fiscal pain can depend on the individual and everyone has a different threshold.
The bass player's function along with the drums is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.
I think we're getting to the point where everyone's getting fat and everyone's getting allergic or claims to be allergic to something and people can't walk from their front door to their car without a bottle of water in their hand because they have to hydrate every three and half steps.
I think you have to feel comfortable with your car. You have to go into turn one every lap with confidence. You have to be sure of yourself and your equipment.
