He's computerized but I won't let him come on cold. I created KITT. I understand the personality of the car.
I will stay in the car until the last minute that I'm going to jump out and do a standup or jump out and do some interviews.
To have some idea what it's like stand in the outside lane of a motorway get your mate to drive his car at you at 95 mph and wait until he's 12 yards away before you decide which way to jump.
I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand namely exactly nothing.
My car and my adding machine understand nothing: they are not in that line of business.
When I was living on the street I would be standing out in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater leaning against my car and signing autographs and nobody had any idea that I was living in it.
So there is going to be that balance of understanding how to get the best out of the car that day whether it's 15th or even if I have a shot at a top 10 protecting that car so we can bring it back when we have to.
And we turned off and 30 miles south they're standing in the middle of our road blocking our way stopped the car got out took us through the path in the woods where the craft was on the ground.
To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car you have to be in it. When you're driving a 750hp machine at 200mph the noise and the vibrations are incredible. The G-force when you take big corners is like someone trying to rip your head off. You hit the brakes and it feels as if the skin is being pulled off your body.
People don't understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it's wet.
The thing people don't understand is that touring or travelling or whatever you do in my position means you go to all these cool places all over the world but you see everything from a car window. You don't get to see much of the city or meet people at all.
The year most of my high school friends and I got our driver's permits the coolest thing one could do was stand outside after school and twirl one's car keys like a lifeguard whistle. That jingling sound meant freedom and power.
Most people have no concept of how an automatic transmission works yet they know how to drive a car. You don't have to study physics to understand the laws of motion to drive a car. You don't have to understand any of this stuff to use Macintosh.
We often attribute 'understanding' and other cognitive predicates by metaphor and analogy to cars adding machines and other artifacts but nothing is proved by such attributions.
If you don't understand the details of your business you are going to fail.
We are involved in a life that passes understanding and our highest business is our daily life.
I can't understand why the Democratic parties seem so hostile to economic growth and business.
If bad things are going to be said about me I have to bear that. If I don't understand that it's part of being in show business then I'd better go work in a bank.
I cannot stand the people who get wonderful starts in show business and who abuse it. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen for example although there are plenty of others too. They are the most blessed people in the world and they don't appreciate it.
The jewelry business is a very very tough business - tougher than the computer business. You truly have to understand how to take care of your customers.
I want to own an NFL franchise. I understand the business of football.
Losses have propelled me to even bigger places so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.
In business the competition will bite you if you keep running if you stand still they will swallow you.
I do not understand how it is that financial institutions could think that they could take taxpayer money and then turn around and act like it's business as usual. I don't understand how they can't see that the world has changed in a fundamental way that it is not business as usual when you take taxpayer dollars.
Here's my rule: You always want to pay cash for your own books because if they look at the name on the credit card and then they look at the name on the book jacket then there's this look of such profound sympathy for you that you had to resort to this. It really is withering.
