I don’t know driving in another way which isn’t risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other’s.
I’ve always been so confused about being a girl. Not in a Bruce Jenner way, just… there’s that expectation where you walk into a room, and it’s like, Is it OK to be a woman?’ Or, you know, you’re looking for your keys in the back of a cab, and sometimes the driver can treat you like you’ve had a lobotomy.
As a driver, you want to race every lap possible, especially when you’ve got a good car.

You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.

I probably learned, being in ‘Taxi Driver’ before I made my first film, I would come to the set every day just to watch how that film came about. It’s like a graduate course: it’s terrific. You talk to the cinematographer during the breaks. You ask the electrician why they are doing this.
All of our fans are passionate and each driver that they want to cheer for is really respectful of all the other drivers – it’s a really cool sport to be around.

I wanted to be a race car driver when I was a kid.

One of the things about the ’70s films I love – the films ‘Nightcrawler’ is being compared to, like, ‘Taxi Driver’ – is that they never put their flawed characters into any one box.

I’ve never taken a driver’s test.

My driver is my strongest club – it’s what my game kind of revolves around.
As a driver, you’ve always got to believe in your heart that you’ve got what it takes to win it. You’ve always got to believe in yourself. You’ve always got to arrive on the day and believe it can happen. You’ve always got to believe in the positives.
Who cares if the locker room would embrace Conor McGregor.

I’m a development driver, which means I’ll be doing a lot of work in the simulator.
I kind of look up to Lewis, not as a hero, but as a very good driver who is very fast. Everyone has to admire his pace, especially in qualifying. He is a driver I support, in terms of him being British, and I want him to win, but he isn’t an idol to me.
I love running good because it meets expectations, whether it’s the fans’ or my own. And I know that they come to be entertained: they pull for a particular driver to be entertained by that driver’s success and that driver’s personality, and they relate to that individual.
If the person at the wheel refuses to ask for directions, it is time for a new driver.
