My sporting hero was Drazen Petrovic, the NBA basketball player, who was killed in a car accident in 1993. He was a good friend, an unbelievable player, and I dedicated my Wimbledon win to him.

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

I've always been asked, 'What is my favorite car?' and I've always said 'The next one.'

The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it.

Every job has its downside. For example, being in a band the travel part of it - getting picked up from your house in a car, going to the airport, getting on a plane, going from the airplane to a van, then going from the van to a hotel.
