Having a wheel mentality is paramount. It gives you time and space.
Driving a fast/luxurious car has always been something I aspired to. For some reason, it makes me super happy being behind the wheel of these cars.
Would this country be better off if no one drank? Yes, it would be, but we tried that; it doesn’t work. I don’t want to tell anybody that they can’t have as many drinks as they want every single night of the week as long as they don’t get behind the wheel of a car.
Modern invention has banished the spinning wheel, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother.
The book is like the spoon, scissors, the hammer, the wheel. Once invented, it cannot be improved. You cannot make a spoon that is better than a spoon… The book has been thoroughly tested, and it’s very hard to see how it could be improved on for its current purposes.
We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel; for any environmental organization to claim sole responsibility for any kind of victory is insane, because everybody attacks these problems as a group.
When I was four, I just wanted to drive, I collected toy cars. Where does that sort of thing come from? In hindsight you go, ‘Oh, liked it because of this.’ Maybe it’s just the wheel.
We’ve got horse property and there’s other stuff to do. Like, four wheel driving, we barbeque, drink beers, sit around and play guitars and have a merry ‘ol time.

I started off with sim driving, playing ‘Gran Turismo,’ and my Dad had some sort of Logitech steering wheel with pedals for the PlayStation 2.
My biggest change is what is important to me, and what is not. What’s worthy worrying about, and what is not. When we’re younger, we tend to spend too much time worrying and going over the unnecessary. I’m no longer running the hamster wheel.
I needed a break, and going to culinary school turned a lightbulb on that I didn’t have to make music. The people in the music business forget that not only is there an entire world of people out there who do not care what we do, we are not creating the wheel.
Making a movie is like you’re behind the wheel, and you’re driving through the obstacle course, and the pedal is down, and you can’t brake.

It once amused me that it took me three tries to pass my driver’s test and that my driving instructor told my mother that I was the least talented person behind the wheel that she had ever taught.
It’s funny because I remember playing ‘Grand Turismo,’ and I would get yelled at by my brother for moving the controller as if it was a wheel. He was, ‘It’s not gonna help you.’ Now you have a Wii, and you could actually move and control it.
The whole thing is you don’t want to be pigeon-holed as ‘Oh, he’s a guy in a wheel chair. He’s very fragile. You better watch out.’
I spent my whole childhood watching open-wheel racing. I spent years going to England and racing open wheel, coming back and racing open wheel. It’s been my world for 20 years and beyond that. For almost my whole life, I’ve been watching it. I watch it and I think I know how to do it.
‘Drive for Diversity’ puts people behind the wheel that would never have had the opportunity. Nascar sponsors individual teams who have a person of color, somebody who would not have the opportunity otherwise. And then they’re noticed by bigger teams – it’s like minor-league baseball.
I noticed, when I taught elementary school, how true the squeaky wheel thing is, and how endearing squeaky wheels can be! Because when you’re being a squeaky wheel, you’re also really letting people know who you are.

I learnt to drive at around eleven years old. In an old jeep on a field in Colorado. There were lots of ditches. I could barely see over the steering wheel.

The Baja is a survival race, and there is no break, but you’re not up on the wheel all day in the Baja like you are in Winston Cup or at Indy.

Look, if you’re driving down the highway at 120 miles an hour, I’d rather be behind the wheel than in the backseat.
Your body can’t switch off tired. People fall asleep behind the wheel all the time.
Don’t reinvent the wheel, just realign it.
If whiteness were of no particular advantage, then having a fuller color wheel of skin tones would be purely a matter of celebration. But whiteness – just a drop of it – does still carry privilege. You learn that very young in America.
A careful inspection showed them that, even if they succeeded in righting it by themselves, the cart would travel no longer. The axles were in a hopeless state, and the missing wheel was shattered into pieces.
When he was young, I told Dale Jr. that hunting and racing are a lot alike. Holding that steering wheel and holding that rifle both mean you better be responsible.
My original project was called ‘The Wheel’; there’s a record out there called ‘Desire & The Dissolving Man,’ ‘The Memory Of Loss’ as well. There’s also ‘Falling Faster Than You Can Run,’ also ‘Closer’; all of that’s on our website.

You know, I got kids. I got sons, and I try to tell them, ‘Look, man, when you in the car and you get pulled over, hands on the steering wheel. ‘Yes, sir. No sir.’ Your job is to either wind up in jail, so I can come get you, or be able to pull off. That’s your job.’
I have never looked to put a spoke in anyone’s wheel at all.
Riding my motorcycle around L.A. is like my own video game. But unlike many folks at the wheel, I am occupied with getting where I’m going and keeping myself safe. Most people are applying makeup, texting, and checking out the beauty in the next car.
I think fear is what keeps us from going over the edge. I mean, as a race car driver, I don’t think what makes a good race car driver is a fearless person. I think it’s somebody that is comfortable being behind the wheel of something that’s somewhat out of control.
My first boss was a tall, slim man called Mr. Wheel. I worked for him as a secretary in a food company in central London. He really liked young people and was like a father figure to me.
I drive like my body and my limitations leave me to do it. After my accident, I discovered that to do a roundabout in the road car, you don’t have to grab the steering wheel, you can use friction to turn.
The wheel is come full circle.
I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel with ‘Venom.’ I’m not trying to go too far to the left or too far to the right. Sometimes I step outside the box and it might lose people a little bit, so this time I’m going straight up the middle. I’m coming with some hard stuff.
Our mandate expects that we will build on the Joint Inquiry’s investigation and we will not be re-inventing the wheel. But we go to places which the Joint Inquiry was not permitted to explore.
If you’re a manager you can’t get frustrated and be emotional. You have to continue to steer the ship, you can’t let go of the wheel because who knows where it will go then.
Once you’re on the wheel, you don’t come off.
Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone.
You can be as good as you can be behind the wheel physically, but you’ve also got to be there mentally.
When I wrote ‘Hatchet,’ I knew that I was not re-inventing the wheel. That was never my intention. My goal was to make an ’80s-style slasher flick that actually holds up. Basically, I wanted to make the movie that I wanted to see and pay no mind to current trends or conventions.
Think about technological float: it took centuries for the wheel to gain universal acceptance. Now any microchip device can be in use around the world in weeks.
I would really love to do an action movie. An action comedy would be right in my wheel house. But those are really hard to come by.
