They're treated like prima donnas. But a lot of that is because pit stops are even more important now than they used to be. The cars are all so equal, pit stops are one of the few places you can gain an advantage.

We're all eccentrics. We're nine prima donnas.

The only option a driver has is to literally not do it. If he (crew chief) says, 'Pit,' you drive by and say, 'I didn't hear you, what'd you say, come back.' And that's happened, and sometimes you wish you hadn't done that. Other times it works out.

There should be no prima donnas on a team, everyone should feel important, from the oldest player to the youngest.

All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.

A lot of athletes are arrogant, narcissistic, prima donnas and selfish, and he never fell into that category. He's one of the most-sensitive, intelligent people I've known. When all of this is over, I'd like to be his mentor.
