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.

So I was getting into my car and this bloke says to me 'Can you give me a lift?' I said 'Sure you look great the world's your oyster go for it.''

No illusion is more crucial than the illusion that great success and huge money buy you immunity from the common ills of mankind such as cars that won't start.

The greatest pleasure when I started making money was not buying cars or yachts but finding myself able to have as many freshly typed drafts as possible.

The rest of the world cares about how we conduct our affairs because they then take that lead. We're the only leader in the world today. Some are wishing us well others think that we're down and are not going to get back up again but they are all watching with great interest to see how we conduct our business over the next couple of years.

How many times have you been out for a beer or dinner and people are coming up with business ideas? Everybody wants to think they've got that great business idea.

I started cooking in kitchens right out of high school and I was lucky to work with a lot of great people but I had no idea it would turn into this. Of course no one should go into this business because they want to be the next Emeril.

Politics are about preserving relationships at the end of the day and it has nothing to do with the greater good for humanity. It's just all about business.

A business of high principle generates greater drive and effectiveness because people know that they can do the right thing decisively and with confidence.
