The thing about drugs and sex is that you lose all your inhibitions. I've had sex in trains planes wine bars... and quite a few car parks!

I'm addicted to laughing. I go to see a lot of comedy shows. I'm addicted to playing really loud and obnoxious rock music in my car. I'm addicted to beautiful clothes and shoes. I just love gorgeous stuff and work hard to acquire pretty things shiny things. I'm addicted to shiny things!

Eventually I did that but it took a lot of twists and turns and there were a year or two there where I was living with no money at all - no home no car no nothing. I was living in somebody's garage in Los Angeles at that point - for a year.

I remember that all of a sudden the car felt like I couldn't control it. It was absolutely the most horrifying experience. We rolled over off the freeway. I think there was something wrong with the car.

I knew that by getting behind the wheel of the car and having had something to drink the responsibility laid on my shoulders.

So if you're a robot and you're living on this planet you can do things that you can't do in real life - things that you wished you could do: like fly like have a car that flies like have furniture that is alive.

I remember when metal was something you really had to search out and now I hear it on car commercials.

It's like no matter what I do I always feel like I'm five years old and I end up in the back of my father's car looking out the window and nothing has changed in 25 years.

Every summer my husband and I pack our suitcases load our kids into the car and drive from tense crowded New York City to my family's cottage in Maine. It's on an island with stretches of sea and sandy beaches rocky coasts and pine trees. We barbecue swim lie around and try to do nothing.

When I was in New York I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.

I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.

It's not a case of 'look at me in my car' it's more 'look at the car'. I like the idea of other people enjoying them because everything has become a bit faceless and nobody likes the motor car any more.

In 1950 when the Giants signed me they gave me $15 000. I bought a 1950 Mercury. I couldn't drive but I had it in the parking lot there and everybody that could drive would drive the car. So it was like a community thing.

The image is where you have dinner at night who you're seeing. It's what car you drive and how you dress. People in the industry sell that and it creates a dream. There's nothing else.

It sounds like something from a Woody Guthrie song but it's true I was raised in a freight car.

When I grew up there wasn't air-conditioning or anything of that nature and this old car had a wall thickness of about ten inches. So we had a little warmer house in the winter and a little cooler in the summer.

A geek isn't the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks video game geeks car geeks military geeks and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you're passionate about something.

The word 'geek' today does not mean what it used to mean. A geek isn't the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks video game geeks car geeks military geeks and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you're passionate about something.

What I enjoy doing more than anything is I have my little antique car collection and when the weather is pretty I like to get out one of my old cars. I have a little route I run down in the country down Nachez Trace Parkway. The loop down through there is just really relaxing not much traffic.

I've worked as a labourer driven taxis and school buses and been a car mechanic - whatever I could do just to get by. But it does mean that I know a little bit about a lot of things.

One thing that worried me was how writers get categorized and so they end up having to write the same kind of book again and again. That is fine if it is what you want to do but I would rather be locked in the trunk of my car with a weasel than write the same book every three years until I die.

I think the Smart Car is awesome. The only problem is I've been on the freeway and felt like I was going to be blown away like a Tim Hortons coffee cup so I may have to upgrade to a Mini Cooper - something a little stronger.

I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years but when you go back to the old life it's tough.

So I remember when I was a kid I was waiting for my mom to come home when she was working late and you know I was like 'Oh my God what happened to her? Is she OK? Did something happen to her getting in the car?' I was a little kid. But those are actually early onsets of anxiety.
