I don't want people to remember me going through the motions.

In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice.

My son is racing his first 24-hour this year with Porsche.

I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say

Competitiveness has been a big thing for me.

Obviously it's critical that the three cars are able to contribute to the program. I think that certainly has given much of the reason as to why we did so well at Indy over the last several years.

Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.

What's really hit me over the years is that you go to every race and see all the well-wishers, and you really feel like you are connected with people after all these years.

There's a tremendous number of the Daytona Prototypes.

In 1982 when I showed up, the average age of the drivers in the series was something like 40, 41. The crowds were small. There was not much prize money. The competition wasn't very tight.

I'd seen people overstay their welcome and I didn't want that to happen at all.

What is love after but trusting in the unknown.

The best way out of a problem is through it.

We are rich only through what we give and poor only through what we refuse.

Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.

The Holy Spirit, not the pope, is the vicar of Christ on earth.

I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.

Be enlightened for you, just for you. No one else knows or cares. They crucified Christ, you know. They don't take real well, on this planet, to the people who see things differently.

It's like kill or be killed, that's my thing basically.

Brew me a cup for a winter's night. For the wind howls loud and the furies fight; Spice it with love and stir it with care, And I'll toast our bright eyes, my sweetheart fair.

That's the curse of the reading class. We can be seduced by a good story even at the most inopportune moments.
