No one wants to hear my perspective on politics, but I think honestly as you get older, you get more interested in it.

I think the older you get, the more lax you get, and the less romantic you are.

I think you have to feel comfortable with your car. You have to go into turn one, every lap, with confidence. You have to be sure of yourself and your equipment.

I think you can be happy and still be competitive. A good lesson for everybody is to think a bit before you speak and represent who you really are instead of the brash emotional you.

Maybe back in the day you didn't need to be the greatest looking to be on TV and you didn't need to speak the best, but in this day and age, I think you need to be the package. You need to look the part for your sponsors, you need to be able to speak the part for the media and to big CEOs.

I think, for me, I'm a player that wants the puck, and I'm a better player when I have it.
