We drove for the sheer fun of driving because there wasn’t that much money to be made.

They said, ‘Well, it can be done, but we’ll have to do it a different way (rather than purchasing the series).’ So here we are.

I quit driving, I’m not retired.

“Success in life is knowing the difference between ham and eggs; the chicken’s involved, the pig is committed.”

At least when the race starts, he’ll know where they’re all at because they’ll all be in front of him.

At least when the race starts he knows where they’re all at, ’cause they’re in front of him. Better to do it today than tomorrow.

When I first started racing, my father said, “Win the race as slow as you can.

A rivalry doesn’t happen in one or two races or in one year. It happens over a period of time to really get a rivalry going. We race together three or four races and get to beating on each other, that’s not a rivalry, that’s just a happening. You do that four or fives years, that’s a rivalry.

I’m like one of those firecrackers that goes off in your pocket occasionally. I’m not really struggling with it as much as the people around me. But at least I’m not doing too much damage to anybody or to myself. It’s just the condition I’m aware of.

The music beckons to those who are listening.

One of my theories is that men love with their eyes; women love with their ears.

It’s VH1, it’s everywhere, and you know music is just the world right now. People love music.

That’s right, it was a boy. And finally, we have a member of the royal family with an actual excuse for being a toothless, petulant, useless human being…That one could get me into trouble back home.

I’m a woman now.

My family, you know, are all still, you know, very close. We’re all still very close. Mom and Daddy are still alive. So, what more can you ask for? Your kids are healthy.

There’s no comparison between the most precious parts of one’s personal life and success and wealth. If you lost someone near and dear to you, you can’t relate it to any amount of fame, fortune and luxury. You just have to go on living.

So, I took lessons, and I love to shoot now. It’s a lot of fun.

Acting is really about showing up that day and telling the writers what you feel like saying.

Everything I do stems from something personal, not just because it will look good on paper or be a tax write-off.

Thank you to Kanye West and the fact that he is willing to tell the TRUTH. One new and great FACT – African American unemployment is the lowest ever recorded in the history of our Country. So honored by this. Thank you Kanye for your support. It is making a big difference!

Some people say, “Never let them see you cry.” I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.
