I look at myself as the luckiest man alive.

Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience, so that you can make the most of opportunity when it occurs.

The man upstairs is pushing the buttons, and if your name happens to be on that button, well, thank you.

Anybody who can drive and doesn't come out of it a rich man is a fool.

But really - look at the span of my career, and it's something people dream about. And to be spared major injury: I had some moments along the way, but being able to retire on my own terms after having driven during those decades when safety conditions were more precarious than today - am I lucky, or  what?

I count my blessings every day, quite honestly, because I take nothing for granted.

My biggest concern during a race is getting bored. The biggest thing I have to combat is falling asleep while going around and around.
