I love racing and I've always enjoyed racing. I love to try and go back to the local short tracks and do those races. And sometimes I do.
I like road-course racing.
I've tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car.
I want to be in the Guinness Book of World Records. And I don't have the patience to grow the longest fingernails in the world. Why not be the fastest woman on four wheels? It makes complete sense.
You think I'm a pretty good race car driver? Wait until you see my brother. He's the best driver in the family.
I grew up in a culture of motorbikes. So I like racing just fine. Quite a lot, actually. That was when I was a boy in Australia. And I never really made the jump to cars after that.
At the end of the day, I'm riding a little kid's bike around a track; that's what I've done for as long as I can remember. Now it's just on a bigger stage at the Olympics.
I race pushbikes more than I race motorbikes, but it's not the same.
There's times when I'll be out in the middle of the track, standing in the curve, and I'll just laugh. 'What the heck am I doing right now? I'm sliding down the hill at crazy speeds and standing in freezing cold weather.'
Downhill track sports like luge are technology battles, as exciting as a NASCAR qualifying day.
I love to race the best people in the world and the fastest people in the world.
If you type 'Salt Flats' into YouTube, you'll find 100 amazing videos that were shot out there, but you won't find any that were shot in the rain.
I am completely focused on being strong, riding fast, and enjoying myself. With the new generation of riders, only the chronometer counts. I need to be faster than them on track.
Today, to find a challenge is really hard. In the Alps, everything is done. The new lines, almost all of them are finished. So to find a new challenge, it's all beginning to go to speed.
I would love to do a one-off race somewhere - NASCAR would be awesome.
I would like to run about 15 stock car races a year. That would be my goal.
Racecar driving is a lot like sex; all men think they're good at it.
