Porsche and BMW drivers are arrogant.

Yesterday's History. Tomorrow's a Mystery. So live for today.

Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races

If you don't go do what you wanna do, you're just bullshitting yourself.

My proudest moments are beating Ferrari for the World Championship in 1965, and working with Ford to win Le Mans in 1966 and 1967.

I never made a damn dime until I started doing what I wanted.

Driving race cars was an avenue for me to learn how to build my own car, and that was my ambition all along.

I'm not going to take this defeatist attitude and listen to all this crap any more from all these people who have nothing except doomsday to predict.

You might get some serial killers who are born with a chip missing, but for the most part I don't think anyone is born bad.

I'm a big proponent of monogamous relationships regardless of sexuality, and I'm proud of how the nation is steering toward that.
