Oh yeah, I've been in therapy in and out of my whole life.
I enjoy learning how to cook because I like to eat. Eating is good. Eating is fun.
Man, I was a troubled kid. I was going to get kicked out of a Christian school and got sent to military school for a year and a half, and I didn't really have much direction until I got the opportunity to drive race cars.
My role models weren't holding steering wheels and mashing gears on Sunday. They wore burgundy and gold with names like Art Monk and Darrell Green.
I've always wanted to win a championship so badly.
I've never wished I was anybody else.
My habit is to get real competitive and make racing probably more work than it is enjoyable, and I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I feel like there's pressure from the outside - it's probably not real, but it's something I imagine.
I can't remember ever racing without any pressure.
Nothing will ever feel like winning a Daytona 500. I'm never going to do anything in broadcasting, probably anything in any other professional job that will feel like winning the Daytona 500.
I grew up around it. That was what my friends were listening to - some of my closest friends are big hip-hop fans.
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.
Normally, on the rare chance that a celebrity comes to my property, I get real nervous.
My grandmother was a big Elvis fan, and I am, too, because she played Elvis, and she would keep me all the time when my dad was out of town.
Some people ain't approachable, and some people are.
I hate disappointing people and letting people down.
I went from thinking, 'I wonder if I can be a broadcaster. Will anybody give me a chance? Maybe I can get a shot at it,' to thinking, 'Man, I want to do this for a long time.'
I always make things worse than they are or create problems that aren't there. And going and doing some simple task becomes a problem. I start imagining problems that aren't there. What people are going to think, who's going to judge me and am I going to be good enough? Am I worthy?
I've done everything I ever thought I would do. I've done more than I thought I was capable of doing.
I look at my trophies and can't believe they're mine.
Death is a weird thing.
