I've already done enough to have earned 'good driver,' so if I can be known as a great person and a good driver, that's better than only being a great driver.

I mean, I've always felt like a lot of people's misconceptions of me have to do with how I grew up. I grew up poor, and I grew up rich. I think some people who have never met me have a misconception that when I was living with my father when he was successful, that I was somehow adversely affected by his success or the money he had and was making at the time.

Getting up in front and talking to the people who build my cars is the worst. I get so damn nervous.

If my wheel comes off and I hit the fence real hard, I get to whack every damn one of you with a hammer.

I always have fun. I don't really go without fun too long.

That's life. You've got to deal with it, good and bad. We'll be all right. I mean, if we make the chase, we make it. If we don't, we don't.
