I was training more learning how to scuba dive which I'd never done which was really really really cool.

I assure you that the training that you get in a midget in a sprint car and perhaps in a Silver Crown car is really the kind of experience that makes you into a damn good race driver.

I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car - we didn't have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training.

A lot of fun stuff happens when you go out on a bike compared to when you're in a car. You're more in the environment. It's enjoyable. Even when It's raining It's still fun.

I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there near my family my kids also the real estate business I run with my wife.

I tend to foster drama via bleakness. If I want the reader to feel sympathy for a character I cleave the character in half on his birthday. And then it starts raining. And he's made of sugar.

I think that the best training a top manager can be engaged in is management by example.

Priests are not men of the world it is not intended that they should be and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

If I don't make the team out of spring training I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.
