On the dance floor as much as you say 'Ladies you are the car. He is the driver. You can only go where he takes you ' they still try to be in control.

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.

Every little kid has always wanted to be a race car driver. This gets some of that out.

No in Lethal Weapon I was a taxi cab driver that Mel jumps in front of the taxi and pulls me out of the car and steals the taxi. Then I did some other indie driving for some of the car sequences.

I think there's a suspicion in the South of people putting on airs. You see it in most successful Southern politicians but you also see it in someone like Richard Petty who may be a multimillionaire stock car driver but he's also beloved because he has a nice self-deprecatory way about him.

I feel comfortable around every driver out there and each driver is in charge of their own car but you feel very secure racing the competition out there.
