Competitiveness has been a big thing for me.

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

I have never had problems sleeping the night before a race.

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

Today, the competition is considerably more intense.

We ran three cars last year. Unfortunately, as time went on, we did have to let a few people go, which we regretted, but just because of the situation.

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.

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

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.

At this stage of the game, I am not sure what the hell is going to happen.

Competitiveness has been a big thing for me.

The fans know that I have been giving it my all and that we had the good judgment to when to say when.

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

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.

I guess it is the sense of personal satisfaction that racing gives you that I am probably going to miss, because in racing you get that feedback very quickly.

The place where I had so much success as a driver would be where I had my first win as a team owner.

We tried to create advantages. We were never complacent.

You don't have to worry about whether the car is set up right or not, you know it is, and it's down to you. Ultimately, that's what every driver wants.

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

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

I am going to miss that time when you take that corner better than anybody else could have taken it on that lap or you do that great qualifying lap or you make that great pass or you bring a crippled car home.

There's a tremendous number of the Daytona Prototypes.

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

I make myself proud.

The invention of the micro-loan was a big surprise to me. Who would have guessed loans of less than $20 made to poor people in undeveloped countries could create thriving local economies? And, even more surprisingly, that they more reliably pay off their debts than the wealthy of the world.

Every song, the title dictates the architecture of the song.

More often than not, however, the person who flatly states 'Elves aren't like that!' is hard pressed to describe how they really look.... as if Tolkien has summoned archetypes from so deep in our minds that we can only recall them incompletely.

I'm the type to over-analyze everything. If I was to rob a house, I'd have a checklist to make sure nothing goes wrong.

The revolution doesn't always look perfect.

Those who are enjoying something or suffering something together are companions. Those who enjoy or suffer one another are not.

If you think advantage lies in resources, then you think the best educational system is the one that spends the most money.

I love rehearsing because in rehearsals there are no mistakes, nothing is wrong, some things apply or lead you to focus on the character and the things that don't apply are equally valuable because they lead you to towards what does.

Mediocrity is underrated.

When the bandwagon presents itself you have to jump onto it.

Single life is so overrated.

My last passport, I had North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Liberia, Guinea... I had, like, every war-torn country in there.

The good news is people are watching more video than ever before; they're just watching in places that often aren't rated and aren't monetized.

Nature needs no help, just no interference.

Someone has to stand up for wimps.

No matter how cold it gets my heart and soul will forever warm for you.

The argument most commonly made in the filibuster's favor is crudely partisan: 'Our side may be in the majority now, but someday it will be in the minority, and when that happens we'll want to block the other side's extremist agenda.'

I'd like to live on horseback and just be a cowboy.

He who remains calm while those around him panic probably doesnt know whats going on.

An hour of anxiety cannot change my circumstances, but a minute of prayer can alter everything.

I can do a really high-pitched cartoon voice. Everybody always say they like that.

I don't think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He's given you... but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things... he's not a small God; this God is incredible.

I've always liked the fact that anyone with a great idea, access to the Internet, and an unrelenting will can spark a world-beating company simply by standing up code on the Internet and/or leveraging the information and relationship network that is the web. That's how Facebook started, after all.
