I've been very fortunate to dodge a nickname throughout my entire career. I've never had one.

How do you say no when a little kid is asking you for ice cream? I know I can't say no to it myself.

The thing I love about off-road racing is the pride in how abusive it is.

Driving will never be away from me - I can't just give it up. It's all I've ever done, and there's something about being in that car.

I grew up in a very simple home, a very simple background, and to be able to do what I'm able to do today, I'm very honored. I don't think I'll ever lose that perspective, and I don't want to.

I do find it amusing when somebody cuts me off, makes an aggressive move on me in a car. I'm like, 'Do you have any idea what I do for a living? Why?'

A losing football team looks at excuses. A championship football team looks at solutions.

I have a lot of confidence in myself, a lot of confidence in the race team, our equipment, and as my mind plays its games on me, I just fall back on the team.

I didn't get into racing to make friends.

There's just a pit that develops in your stomach and doesn't go away. It's the championship pit and it's there.

My fans are always extremely loyal.

Seeing him again had been a gut punch.

At high school, instead of the weekly essay, I would write a poem, and the teacher accepted that. The impulse was one of laziness, I'm certain. Poems were shorter than essays.

The main thing I am interested in is my experience as a teacher.

For good or ill, I'm a person of leadership. I do my best. I don't dodge responsibility.

I work really hard - that doesn't mean I deserve anything, but it's really cool to see the positive reaction people give to something you worked so hard on. It's one of the best feelings.

I deeply care about what the fans think.

Memory is a painter. Paintin's not important. The important thing is keepin' busy.

Nations are possessed with an insane ambition to perpetuate the memory of themselves by the amount of hammered stone they leave. What if equal pains were taken to smooth and polish their manners?

I am an anarchist, and according to anarchist principles nation states become obstacles to a true humanistic globalization.

How did this or that change my music? The only time I have to think about it is when an interviewer asks me that.
