My proudest moments are beating Ferrari for the World Championship in 1965, and working with Ford to win Le Mans in 1966 and 1967.

I never had ambitions to see how rich I could get. I got a lot of contemporaries that that's their ambition, and I don't know very many of them that are happy.

Driving race cars was an avenue for me to learn how to build my own car, and that was my ambition all along.

I love horsepower.

Most Americans, like most Japanese, view their dogs, cats, and other animal companions as family members, and rightly so.

In my family, graduating and getting your bachelor's is just the beginning. It's only expected. You're underachieving if you don't strive for more than that.

Our family was on the lunatic fringe. My mother was always completely irrepressible. My father made crowd noises into a microphone.

When families are strong and stable, so are children - showing higher levels of wellbeing and more positive outcomes. But when things go wrong - either through family breakdown or a damaged parental relationship - the impact on a child's later life can be devastating.
