Certainly a driver, to perform to the maximum, needs to feel comfortable – within the team, with the car.
My driver Kellie Frost and I would race these fellows home and they were always faster on the highway. We did the same with Daniel and his driver, and thus began a long series of jokes and competitions to alleviate the impossible hours and tensions this film provoked.
Because it was my decision to stop racing, I feel fine not being a driver anymore.
‘Taxi Driver’ wasn’t autobiographical in terms of the actual events, but I did draw on my own mental state.
Money shouldn’t be the driver for where you spend your time.

I don’t know of any other driver on the track that doesn’t get hot under the collar.
I always say I make the movies where people go, ‘Hey, I never saw it, but when I finally did, I really liked it.’ People saw ‘Baby Driver,’ though. I was pleased with that.
Obama and the Democrats’ preposterous argument is that we are just one more big tax increase away from solving our economic problems. The inescapable conclusion, however, is that the primary driver of the short-term deficit is not tax cuts but the lack of any meaningful economic growth over the last half decade.
When I was a teenager, you wanted to go to the movies. Go and see ‘Mean Streets,’ go and see ‘The Conversation,’ go and see ‘Taxi Driver.’

My nerves sometimes hijack my body and I am no longer in the driver’s seat.
Television is much better crafted today then in the 70s. The content is less positive but I’m one of those that feel our entertainment reflects our world, it’s not a driver – art imitates life.

I think people should be given a test much like driver’s tests as to whether they’re capable of being parents! It’s an art form. I talk a lot. And I think a lot. And I draw a lot. But never in a million years would I have been a parent. That’s just work that’s too hard.
Passion is the driver of achievement in all fields. Some people love doing things they don’t feel they’re good at. That may be because they underestimate their talents or haven’t yet put the work in to develop them.
I’m the most underrated driver.
There is more credit and satisfaction in being a first-rate truck driver than a tenth-rate executive.

Once I got my driver’s license everybody treated me like I was an adult.
Mile tracks put more emphasis on the driver. On the longer tracks, you can drive flat out all the way around, so it’s more of an engineering exercise. On a mile, you can’t run flat out. You’re constantly in traffic, there’s more driver involvement.

There are a lot of factors in the life of an F1 driver which can combine to make you believe that you are somehow above normality. I think that is a mistake to start believing that. But, at the same time, it is important to be confident.
I sometimes think it ironic for an ex-seaman, longshoreman, truck driver, policeman, bus driver, etc… to find success writing children’s novels.
When you’re a driver, you are very selfish and you only need to focus on your own performance because ultimately, it’s your name on the side of the car.

I think that anybody’s craft is fascinating. A taxi driver talking about taxi driving is going to be very, very interesting.

I just have these terrible memories of our first European tour back in 2007. We had hired this van and tour service from the former Czech Republic called Fluff Wheels, and they sent us out with this 19-year-old vegan driver kid who had no money and refused to eat anything.
If you thought financial crises came and went, just count on them – another economic collapse, it’s almost going to be like not news any more. But for startups this is great, because it’s a perpetual driver of disruption.
I think that’s a very good point they’re bringing into Formula One at the moment, to get rid of all the electronics. And I think that’s what a Formula One driver needs. That’s why they are a Formula One driver. They need to drive themselves.
I really like the Evo from ‘2Fast.’ That car is a lot of fun as a daily driver. They’re really quick on the track, too, when they’re set up right.

My parents both had eighth-grade educations. My mother had five kids by the time she was 23, and my father was a truck driver.
Being a good race car driver is one thing, but to take all the time commitments and all the pushing and pulling and learning when to say no – because you need to rest or focus on the things you need to do to make the car go fast – those are the hardest things to learn and the most distracting things to learn.
Death is a billion-dollar business. They can’t even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don’t you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver’s license? It’s totally insane.
Today we’re more distanced from each other, the bonds formed at the local shop replaced by the massive supermarket or the stressed driver thrusting a package through a letterbox. Instead of meeting in pubs, more of us sit at home with supermarket wine and Netflix.
Like many of his fellow skyjackers, 49-year-old Arthur Gates Barkley was motivated by a complicated grievance against the federal government. In 1963, the World War II veteran had been fired as a truck driver for a bakery, after one of his supervisors accused him of harassment.
Porsche is a driver’s car – a performance car. That was funny – here’s this awesome car, but it’s got no cup holders.

I am like the little rock n’ roll backseat driver.
Fortunately, there’s another handy driver that has manifested itself throughout the history of cultures. The urge to want to gain wealth. That is almost as potent a driver as the urge to maintain your security. And that is how I view NASA going forward – as an investment in our economy.
It’s a little weird: you’re headlining a show on TV, and obviously, people like to associate that with material things. I drive a – what is it – 1999 Chevy Blazer. There’s no more cushion on the driver’s seat, and the tires are about gone.
As a race car driver, you kind of get stereotyped into, ‘Man, you like country’ – or you got to say you like country. I do like a lot of country. But I’m all over the board.
