You do the best you can with what's thrown at you, then you try again.

You can't take a vacation from speed. I probably could have taken more time off and not driven in all the different disciplines, but I wanted to drive, drive and drive.

My last race was at Le Mans in 2000, my first race was in 1959, so I dodged a lot of bullets along the way, I can tell you that.

You dream what you're supposed to do

The first time I fired up a car, felt the engine shudder and the wheel come to life in my hands, I was hooked. It was a feeling I can't describe. I still get it every time I get into a race car.

Desire is the key to motivation.

Love what you do. Believe in your instincts. And you'd better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day.
