Young drivers are supposed to be hard on equipment. That's how you learn.

A goal isn’t something you just arrive at and stop. You have to stay curious and hungry and foolish...

I look at myself as the luckiest man alive.

From the driver's standpoint I had the same horrors, the same satisfactions, the same everything. The speed is relative. It's faster and things are happening quicker, but you have the equipment to handle it.

There's something special about racing in real streets. The 'artificial' circuits have a certain sameness to them. But every race conducted on real streets has a character of its own - Barcelona, Monaco, and now Long Beach.

I lived the true American dream, because I was able to pursue what I set as my goals at a very young age.

If you don't come walking back to the pits every once in a while holding a steering wheel in your hands, you're not trying hard enough
