If there is anything that we wish to change in the child we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.
If there is no struggle there is no progress.
I'm not a bad driver. And I never will be because I took lessons when I was quite a boy. I never had to pass a test because there wasn't such a thing when I first started driving a motor car. So I didn't have to pass one.
Those youngsters go out there and set a record and clinch the pole position. But what do you do if you wreck your car. That record doesn't spend too well.
I compare it to being in a car accident. There's so much adrenaline rushing through you that you remember being in the accident but you don't remember any of the details.
I want a car that will last 10 years or longer because I totally hate the process of researching shopping for a new car and then haggling for the price. I wish I could just snap my fingers and my car is there.
There was a time in L.A. when I drove to 7-Eleven to go grocery shopping and I locked my keys in my car which wasn't insured. My wallet was in there and I couldn't call AAA because I only had $7 in my bank account. It was one of those moments where I was like 'O.K. I literally have nothing right now.'
I prefer to sing in the shower vs. the car. The shower is just steam you know its just you and nature and no clothing. You know there's nothing separating you. It's just you and the voice - you and the water.
There's an unseen force which lets birds know when you've just washed your car.
I've got a great team of engineers behind this race car. I've got a great bunch of mechanics that make it reliable. This car is developed to go out there and be better than the Reynard and I feel that it is.
There's a lot of stress... but once you get in the car all that goes out the window.
Can you imagine a guy breaking into your car and he steals your guitar case 'cause he thinks it's a guitar and he gets it home and opens it up and there's a rake inside it an electric toilet plunger and a dog skull? That actually happened.
There are people who own cars and are getting free cell phones. A car helps one find a job too. Where do you draw the line?
I look at the car park and myself and Dave Watson come in with our old cars and these young lads come in with their new Porches. I think that society has changed there seems to be a lack of respect nowadays.
I hate to play the I-live-in-the-country card but it really takes all of the 'pack the kids into the car and run from here to there' out of the equation.
You have to visualize a second or two ahead of your car what line you are taking what you are going to do before you get there because it comes too fast.
The same things we've done the past couple of seasons. We've worked on the engine and clutch. We'll try and pick up the performance and consistency of the car and go back out there.
The senior officer who met with reporters in Baghdad said there had been 21 car bombings in the capital in May and 126 in the past 80 days. All last year he said there were only about 25 car bombings in Baghdad.
As far as luxury goes about the only thing I do is... I go first class all the way. I live on the road so when I'm out there I'm getting the nice hotel suite I'm getting the luxury car I'm eating the good food and I make sure I take care of myself on the road.
The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.
We were racing at circuits where there were no crash barriers in front of the pits and fuel was lying about in churns in the pit lane. A car could easily crash into the pits at any time. It was ridiculous.
Ford used to come to work in a big car with two Admiral's flags on each side of the car. His assistant would be there with his accordion playing Hail to the Chief.
There are races and then there are races. And without a doubt the Indy 500 is the race that I've always wanted to attend. And now to be driving the Corvette Pace Car... this is going to be unbelievable.
Is there some risk every day we walk out our front door? Every time we get in our car? Yeah. Are we materially less safe now than we were 10 years ago? Whatever delta there is it's very small.
