My favorite drive is Highway 101 in California between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. I love the 101; Highway 1 is too windy, and 5 is too boring – the 101 is just right. It’s like the Mama Bear of scenic drives.
I love when people doubt me. I love when people don’t think that I’m good enough to play at a certain level, not good enough to be a starter, things like that. That’s the stuff that drives me.

The arrogance that says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I can’t accept that.
We believe that business is the engine that drives the car. You’ve got to build your business base. That means creating more jobs, better paying jobs – that’s how you raise your standard of living. That’s how you raise your quality of life. That’s what funds all the other services people want from government.
There should always be competition. You should never feel comfortable, no matter where you are at. If you are a 10-year veteran, you should not feel comfortable. For me, that kind of just drives me, that kind of unknown of what is going to happen. The unknown is kind of what drives me.
It drives people nuts that I take them to McDonald’s all the time.
I was absolutely blown away when I first talked to Lisa Joy and Jonah Nolan at how ambitious they wanted ‘Westworld’ to be in looking at the drives that are leading human beings over the cliff of existence.

Americans donate blood every day – on high school and college campuses during blood drives, in workplaces after a coworker falls ill, and in hospitals as loved ones prepare for surgery.
I’ve always felt alienated. I realized that I’ve been terrified my entire life. So I can identify that fear which drives so many of the people that I write about.
The arc of Ken Griffey Jr.’s swing has gotten bigger than when he hit line drives. Juan Gonzalez is a terrific power hitter, too.
The deal is that I hold myself to an extremely high standard, and it’s a standard that can never be… it’s unattainable. But it drives me to be the very best in everything I do.
Character drives the story, and the story drives the book. I don’t think about where the action should go, or how much there should be, until it’s required by the characters.

Companies in Silicon Valley invest a lot in understanding their users and what drives user engagement.
I have a certain curiosity for life that drives me and propels me forward.
You gotta be able to take criticism if you want to be anything close to great. Even if it’s not true. You use that as an advantage for yourself. You can use that negative energy and turn that into an energy that drives you to be something more than you thought you could be. That’s one thing I did.
It drives me nuts how I rely on my wife for everything. I can’t imagine a day without her!

I find little things that drive me sometimes, but again, I’m already a driven person, and just because I strive for perfection on a personal level and don’t really care what other people say or do. I just want to be the best I can be, so that drives me enough.

To be honest, I haven’t seen a lot of the current crop of teen movies because there’s only so much time and there’s nothing that really drives me to do it.
I recognized that the passion I have and feel for interior and design and furniture was not organically there for styling. The fuel that drives you when doing something you truly love… wasn’t there.
All of my memories are now on hard drives. I’ll change phones or I’ll change my laptop, and all my photos stay.

Using predictive models from engineering and public health, designers will plan safer, healthier cities that could allow us to survive natural disasters, pandemics, and even a radiation calamity that drives us underground.
Immigration has a huge cost on social programs, and it lowers salaries and drives up unemployment.

The thing that drives most coaches out of coaching in college is they get tired of the grind of recruiting.
If I hadn’t become a golfer, I doubt I’d be wealthy, because I don’t have the sort of ego that drives a person all day long. I might have wound up driving a tractor.
