I don’t care about having a fancy car. I don’t have a lot of the wants and needs that a lot of people have where I would need to make a $1 million a fight.
And suddenly I realised that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension.
I’m a sprinter man. We don’t jog; we don’t walk. It’s full-out. It’s big engines. You don’t take a car that has 600 horsepower for a cross-country drive.
The key is to join an industry that you have a passion for. If you love cars, then automotive is where you should end up.
I’m not really worried about the flashy stuff. I don’t got chains and cars. I spend what I need to spend. It doesn’t faze me.

There’s not a single doubt in my mind that the whole of Chrysler organization views itself as an American car producer.
I once went to one of those parties where everyone throws their car keys into the middle of the room. I don’t know who got my moped, but I drove that Peugeot for years.

The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.

I realized that after years of studying Shakespeare and Chekhov and regional repertory theater, what I really wanted to do was bust in and rob a bank and jump in the screaming getaway car and tear through the city and get in a shootout.
I drive a hybrid, moving into an electric car. I only drink tap water, never consume food that’s travelled.
I’ve tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car.
We invented the car, and it made it easier for us to crash and die. If I gave a car to my grandfather, he would die in five minutes, while I have grown up slowly to accept speed.

I remember being in New Orleans after Katrina hearing people calling, ‘Help me,’ and wanting to slide down in the seat of my car because it felt like I was invading their suffering. But I also know that our being there gave them a voice.
Years and years ago, like in 2006, my wife, I didn’t have a car, she would drive me to weigh-ins, we would sleep in broken-down motels and I would fight the next day. Just me and her.
I did archery when I was in high school. In our gym class we had two weeks of archery, and I remember taking the bow and arrow and firing it up and across the street into a car parking lot.

One phrase we use at Stripe is, ‘Most tech companies are building cars. Stripe is building roads.’
I’m always in favor of more glamour. I embarrass my children, I think. I am the lady in feathers in the car pool line.
