I was always an observer, even as a child. I could be satisfied to sit in a car for 3 hours and just look at the street go by while my mother went shopping.
As soon as I began to earn what might be called fairly large sums, I bought a car and began to explore the country around New York.
The same things we've done the past couple of seasons. We've worked on the engine and clutch. We'll try and pick up the performance and consistency of the car and go back out there.
I don't think Mercedes-Benz says anything about me, really. I was in a situation where I was able to get a really nice car, and I'm proud to have it.
I remember things that happened sixty years ago, but if you ask me where I left my car keys five minutes ago, that's sometimes a problem.
I'm more into, like, colour than, like, the type of car and stuff. I don't know much about cars, so I'm just more into picking the right color.
I know a lot about cars, man. I can look at any car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming.
All the times being like, 'Who rented this car and why are we going to this place?' You take the easy route and go, 'Oh, thanks for the champagne. I'll have another.'
You never want to concede a place, but when you're leading the race or fighting for a podium position, you can find ways to make your car very wide!
And I think that if I were a for real celebrity that was recognizable everywhere, I'd just crawl under a rock and you know, have someone run over the rock with a car, or something.
There are moments when you're stepping out of a really nice car on to a red carpet, and you feel inside like, 'This is quite nice,' but I'm never whisked off my feet.
You can find out anything you want about a car now, and especially every bit of information about the price, without relying on the dealers.
So the first thing that I thought about was, 'How is this car going to handle?' But then after I'd been driving with it and practicing with it and I accomplished that, then I just kind of sat back.
When I was in New York, I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.
My dad used to hunt ducks, and my mom would put them in the pot. We lived really modestly. We had very little money.
I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant.
Teenagers too often have to deal with loss and death. You had to cope with the untimely death of your brother; how can young people deal with such tragedies?
I mean, the death in the late eighties and early nineties really shook out a lot of hacks. The pond just sort of dried up for a lot of really bad comedians.
My experience of my father's death was that it was still taboo; nobody would meet me after my father died because they didn't know what to say.
I like food too much to go on some crazy diet. French fries are my favorite downfall.
Lonesome. Lonesome. I know what it means. Here all by my lonesome, dreaming empty dreams. Weary. Weary at the close of day, wondering if tomorrow brings me joy or sorrow.
