By reaching for infinity, you reach the core of yourself.

Performing is an experience, for me, that is as humbling as it is energizing.

I write what I don't know. It's way more interesting.

I don't want to get in a big, long discussion about right and wrong, but our company has been working on the issue of underage drinking and alcohol abuse for a long time. I've been outspoken about it.

Nobody can legitimately claim to be a marine ecologist and conservationist while continuing to eat fish. It is the ultimate form of hypocrisy.

I found for me that my safe place was work. I could control my environment. I became very fastidious and detailed, and wanted things a certain way.

I can play every instrument there is, every horn, I've played all the saxes and trumpets and everything and keyboards.

You know, sometimes the little victories that I have throughout the season are not necessarily obvious on the track. Maybe they're another aspect of what I'm doing, winning little victories here and there to get everything in line to be able to perform from top to bottom on race day.

These 'lone wolves,' people like to call them, you've got to look at them not like a lone wolf but an individual operator who's been convinced in their head, brainwashed, whatever, that this is the way to go. And they will carry out their assaults systematically throughout.

Having kids has been a turning point in my life because when I was still single, all I wanted was to impress beautiful girls.

When I was a kid, 'Scooby Doo' was, hands down, my favorite cartoon. Even when I was older, when I was in college studying and I needed to tune out for a while, I'd watch 'Scooby Doo.'
