I wasn't going to be a college kid. The only subject I was interested in was English. I think I had a subconscious interest in analyzing story.

I race historic muscle cars back in Australia, and that's my hobby. And I try to race home as soon as I've finished a movie but don't tell anyone.

I look my best when I take my helmet off after a long motorcycle ride. I have a glow and a bit of helmet hair.

Over my lifetime, the car had actually transcended the fact that it is a car. It has become a venue.

I'm always one time zone behind myself.

You have to be proactive about your destiny and then realize that the other half of it is completely out of your control. I think it's fascinating.

I am attracted to characters who think they are in control, but their situation is uncontrollable.

It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.

I've always been a bit of a car freak.

It's just amazing how hard it is for people to change, even when amazing things happen. It almost reinforces who you are instead of making you change.

I just try to get on anyway that I can, hit, hit-by-pitch, walk, home runs, anything.

And besides, I like to cry. After I cry hard it's like it's morning again and I'm starting the day over.

It's a big jump from smart to motherwit.

In less enlightened times, the best way to impress women was to own a hot car.

The best day of my life was when I turned 25. That's the day my car insurance went down. Yeah, boy, I saved $1,200 that day.
