I was encouraged to hear that GM has made great progress on the hydrogen car.

I've got a great team of engineers behind this race car. I've got a great bunch of mechanics that make it reliable. This car is developed to go out there and be better than the Reynard and I feel that it is.

Especially in the car ride to and from gym. I find myself spacing out a lot just visualizing what the Olympics would be like and just having such great role models.

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.

Here's the thing that I think about life - if you manage to get into a space where you don't need that much where the overhead of your life is not that great and you're pretty happy and relaxed without that much stuff you are really liberated because you never have to say yes to something because you want another refrigerator or car!

I could never drive in a great big car people like me because I'm a man of the people a hustler.

That's what I love. Not being interrupted sitting in a car by myself and listening to music in the rain. There are so many great songs yet to sing.

Freedom is not an ideal it is not even a protection if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate to live without dreams to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.

I'm a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself that's great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me.

I think that Indy is special to me. The greater the distance between the last time I drove an Indy car and the next time I wouldn't like that to be too big.
