“One of the things I love about the theater is that no one can tell you to stop. Once you're onstage, it's three hours, and whether you're completely off or you're just horrendous, you've got to find a way to leave an impression. There's not that terrible thing that you get when you're making a movie, where you get in your car at the end of the day knowing that something you're not proud of was immortalized on film, and you can't fix it because they won't reshoot it.” WayEndsFilmThreeHoursKnowingCarProudTerribleTheaterImpressionThe End Of The DayTerrible ThingsThings I Love Author:Carey Mulligan
“Whether advanced driver training helps drivers in the long term is one of those controversial and unresolved mysteries of the road, but my eye-opening experience at Bondurant raises the curious idea that we buy cars—for most people one of the most costly things they will ever own—with an underdeveloped sense of how to use them. This is true for many things, arguably, but not knowing what the F9 key does in Microsoft Word is less life-threatening than not knowing how to properly operate antilock brakes.” PeopleLongDoeIdeasHelpingUseEyeTermKnowingMysteryCarKeysTrainingRaisesOpeningCuriousLong TermDriversNot KnowingThreateningControversialMicrosoftBrakeEye OpeningMicrosoft Word Author:Tom Vanderbilt
“I had this lump in my throat, but I couldn't even cry. I thought, I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

“I realize this is blasphemy, but a few weeks ago I tried to watch a NASCAR race being run at Talladega. I lasted about five minutes before terminal boredom overtook me. It appeared to be nothing more than a high-speed freeway commute--a mob of luridly painted, identical lumps of metal loping at 180 mph around the banking, fender to fender, nose to tail. Knowing the scenario would surely devolve into a multicar demolition derby that would thrill the goobers in the grandstands, I turned off the set to later learn that this time it was Jimmie Johnson who triggered the eight-car melee.” RunningRealizingRaceWatchesKnowingFiveWeekMinutesCarEightSpeedNosesBoredomMetalsTailsThrillBankingFive MinutesJohnsonScenariosIdenticalBlasphemyLumpsTerminalFreewaysHigh SpeedTurned OffNascarDerbyMphDemolitionDemolition Derby Author:Brock Yates
“Cornering is like bringing a woman to a climax. Both you and the car must work together. You start to enter the area of excitement at the corner, you set up a pace which is right for the car and after you've told it it is coming along with you, you guide it along at a rhythm which has by now become natural. Only after you've cleared the corner you can both take pleasure in knowing it's gone well.” WellsTogetherNaturalPleasureGoneKnowingCarAreasCornersGuidesRhythmExcitementWorking TogetherPaceClimax Author:Jackie Stewart
“I learned a great deal doing Brooklyn Bridge. I was able to take a giant step into the terrible reality that was then. We saw the cattle cars that took folks away.

“Great and good men and women stirred sugar into their coffee knowing that it had been picked by slaves. Kind, good ancestors of all of us never questioned hangings, burnings, tortures, inequality, suffering and injustice that today revolt us. If we dare to presume to damn them with our fleeting ideas of morality, then we risk damnation from our descendants for whatever it is that we are doing that future history will judge as intolerable and wicked: eating meat, driving cars, appearing on TV, visiting zoos, who knows?” IfsKnowsMenKindIdeasTodaySufferingKnowingRiskCarJudgingTvsMoralityEatingMen And WomenSlaveInjusticeDareCoffeeDrivingInequalityBurningDamnMeatTortureWickedGood ManSugarAncestorFleetingRevoltVisitingAppearingDescendantsZoosDamnationEating MeatDriving Cars Author:Stephen Fry
