I still think we have a great shot at this championship.

I don't feel I'm a step above anyone on this team. I'm just another link in the chain.

When you're in a race car, you're going through so many different emotions throughout that race.

You've got to be the best person you can be in your life.

You may be leading, then you might be at the back of the pack trying to work your way up. It's just a constant reminder not to give up, and to know that God, in my mind, is really in control.

I'll do a little prayer here and there if I feel the need to.

So much of my life is spent just focused on driving race cars.

I want to force the other drivers to find a way past me.

I still think we have a great shot at this championship.

As I get older, my appreciation for wine has just increased. I fell in love with wine through my travels, but knowing what the wine country is all about definitely makes it my own.

I don't like to get beat in anything!

I just feel rejuvenated in such a big way because of these race cars I get to drive.

I think driving in New York is a great experience. A lot more racing techniques go into it than anyplace else I've ever driven. There basically are no lanes.

I think fear is what keeps us from going over the edge. I mean, as a race car driver, I don't think what makes a good race car driver is a fearless person. I think it's somebody that is comfortable being behind the wheel of something that's somewhat out of control.

I think perception is important.

I want to race as long as I'm having fun, it's competitive and healthy, and who knows when that, you know, date comes when that's not happening anymore.

I'm just another link in the chain.

In California, especially Northern California, the fans really cheer for me.

In NASCAR, you don't have to be as physically strong as in some other forms of racing. You've just got to be able to endure the heat and endurance of it.

My career in racing started at a very young age in California.

My image lends itself a little bit more to the modern fan, sometimes more toward the kids, and I guess more toward the wine drinkers... I mean, I have my own wine, and fans love to pull for people they relate to.

The business model of racing is not a pretty one.

There's no greater feeling than winning a race.

We have to keep our fans watching not just at home on TV but here at the racetrack too. This is where you sell people on the speed and excitement of racing.

When you've got the Daytona 500 out there at stake and everything riding on the line, guys go for it, and the guys that go for it are the ones that are either going to win or they're going to wreck.

You are going to make choices and decisions that sometimes aren't going to always work in your favor and they are going to upset some other people.

You know, sometimes guys work with other guys because they're buddies off the track, not necessarily because they're buddies on the track. Sometimes you've got that going against you or for you.

So Harry Potter came in and it is nice that I have kids of the right age. I took them to London and they walked around the set and met Harry Potter and that is thrilling.

We need to go faster on structural reforms in France.

Wealth today has been created by a world view dominated by fast-moving networks, open information, bottom-up entrepreneurialism.

I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.

I regard food as fuel. I am not a brunch person.

There is something about this generation living now, that we don't accept death.

I've never had formal drama-school training; I've just picked things up as I've gone along.

Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.

A performer needs to feel the part to be the part!

I tell you it's no joke to paint a portrait. I wonder that I am not more timid when I begin. I feel almost certain that I can do it. It seems very simple. I don't think of the time that is sure to come when I almost despair, when the whole thing seems hopeless.

What I like least about myself is my belligerence.

Anyone who's been through divorce will know that every day is really hard.

If you've ever walked a mile into a virgin forest - you know, like a deep forest where trees have been uncut - the energy is totally different from the shopping mall.

I believe in the institution of marriage; Other than cinema, it's the only way to be immortalised!

I pinch myself because of the understanding that I've been blessed with a real rare opportunity that few Americans ever get - to serve their government and their people at this level.

I'm not religious, and I'm not a Christian, but I do reserve the right to believe in the possibility of a god.

I loved school. I studied like crazy. I was a Class A nerd.

R Stevie Moore was obviously a huge influence and is still a very big influence in my life.

In sixth grade, my basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime, with three seconds left, I rebounded the ball and passed it - to the wrong team! They scored at the buzzer and we lost the game. To this day, I still have nightmares!

Stardom is a crazy thought. If that's what my path is, then that's where I'm excited to be headed towards.

The aim of militants such as Boko Haram, whose very name means 'Western education is a sin,' is to sow hatred and enmity between Muslim and Christian communities, which have co-existed largely peacefully for generations. Education, in particular the education of women, is a threat to Boko Haram's goals.

If you want creative workers give them enough time to play.
