My favorite horse was Zenyatta. She got me hooked.
I have yet to meet anyone quite so stubborn as myself and animated by this overpowering passion that leaves me no time for thought or anything else. I have, in fact, no interest in life outside racing cars.
I always want to be racing.
My wife is terrified. She thinks I'm going to race forever.
The racing bug is never going to go away. It's like the Mafia.
I learned that I was just getting too consumed by racing. That's all I used to do was think about it. You have to be able to turn it off. You have to make yourself stop, or you'll get burned out.
It's not hard to motivate myself because once you get a taste for winning races, you simply don't want to do anything else. You get a buzz from it. You want it every day. Only someone who has experienced winning can understand how good it feels.
I have, in fact, no interest in life outside racing cars.
When you grow up around racing, you just want to race for a living. It doesn't matter what it is.
It is not that I lost my biggest passion - it is still racing.
My habit is to get real competitive and make racing probably more work than it is enjoyable, and I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I feel like there's pressure from the outside - it's probably not real, but it's something I imagine.
