Racing is life. Everything else is just waiting.

I liked being in the Marines. They gave me discipline I could live with. By the time I got out, I was able to cope with things on a more realistic level.

I always feel I'm an amateur. I don't most of the time know what I'm doing.

When I believe in something, I fight like hell for it.

I have difficulty putting words in peoples' mouths. The best dialogue is very, very thin dialogue; you let people improvise and then basically you record what they've improvised and then write it down.

As far as art and filmmaking is concerned, I don't see there's any separation; it's just one continuous thing.

Often the best way to relax is just to go back to work.
