You have to keep thinking, I can be better.

Take those chances and you can achieve greatness, whereas if you go conservative, you'll never know.

The mistake I really learned from was in 2005, leading the Indianapolis 500. I had a decision whether or not to save enough fuel to finish the race - which meant slowing down - or going all-out for the win. I went conservative and saved enough fuel to go to the end but finished fourth.

It would be hypocritical of me to use being female in some ways, and diss being female in other ways. It's part of the programme.

When you are not missing something, longing for something, you don't really think about it that much. It's like that girlfriend you don't want to have anymore. You don't think about her anymore. Or ex-husband. You just don't.

Give yourself permission to shoot for something that seems totally beyond your grasp. You may be surprised at your capabilities

I'd love to do well on a big weekend with people watching and cheering, of course. But it's not fair to create an expectation level before I know what is realistic. I want to finish as well as possible. Is that top 20? Top 15? Top 25? You just have to play it by ear.
