You have to take everything as it comes.

Its always a little different, racing on your hometown track. It makes it more special.

When the car's going well, I purr like a kitten.

It's pretty cool to be able to hang out with the President and have the race-winning car on the South Lawn.

You have to take the hits as they come and you have to take the opportunities.

There's a ton of talent in this country. Some just need to be given a shot.

No matter if I have a job for one weekend or for the next year, or three years, I'm going to drive the same way. That's the way I am. I'm going to give it everything I have.

In the past, people said I wasn't focused and didn't give it the time. That's a bunch of crap. I'm not doing anything different now than I did before.

Things happen for a reason. We'll see where life takes me from here.

I'm not promoting myself as the next great American driver, as some people are describing me. If that's what people want to call me, fine. But I've got more important things to focus on.

I've always loved old hot rods. I have four or five of them at home that I work on when I'm not working out.

The here and now is all we have, and if we play it right it's all we'll need.

More often than not, how you give is more important than what you give.

When I kissed you the day I left, I swear to God you stripped me bare.

I was pissed that I couldn’t go out and celebrate like someone turning twenty-one typically would, so I wore black hair to show my family just how pissed off I was.

I head a nation of a million presidents.

Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty, believe me, that angel's hand is there.

Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.

I'm so lucky. I've met a lot of famous people.

There's no substitute for hard work and effort beyond the call of duty. That is what strengthens the soul and ennobles one's character.

Most people, including myself, keep repeating the same mistakes.
