Quotes of 1962

Quotes taken from the authors in 1962

And when we go from braking to accelerating to cornering, the G-forces we pull are really demanding on our bodies. We definitely have to be in top shape.

Michael Andretti

Believe me, you lose more than a gallon of fluids during a race. You could lose between six and 10 pounds during a race, depending on hot it is.

Michael Andretti

CART is one of the safest racing series in the world.

Michael Andretti

If CART continues on, it's just going to drag all of open-wheel racing down.

One thing I would like to see is a stronger ladder series for up-and-coming American drivers.

Michael Andretti

I think climbing is less a sport and more a hobby, and as such, I think everybody's a beginning climber.

Identifying and overcoming natural fear is one of the pleasing struggles intrinsic to climbing.

There are two kinds of climbers, those who climb because their heart sings when they're in the mountains, and all the rest.

Inspiring passion in family and friends has more enduring value than just staying alive for them.

It's the journey toward doing these harder climbs that really gives value to the whole activity of climbing.

Being a parent is not for the faint of heart. I may joke about knowing fear, but the fact is, the first time I ever knew real fear was the day Charlotte, my first child, was born. Suddenly there is someone in the world you care about more than anything.

What I want to do is tell stories about normal people in the American suburbs. I don't write the book where it's a conspiracy reaching the prime minister; I don't write the book with the big serial killer who lops off heads. My setting is a very placid pool of suburbia, family life. And within that I can make pretty big splashes.

I don't find any real rivalries with crime and thriller writers anyway. That might sound a little Pollyanna, but for the most part the writers I compete with, if you want to use that word, it's a pretty friendly rivalry. I think we all realise that the boat rises and sinks together.

I don't necessarily love the sports per se, I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us, why we care so much. It's caring about something that's utterly meaningless.

The actual writing time is a lot shorter than the thinking time. I don't do too many notes. I keep it mostly in my head. I usually start writing a new book around January, and it's due October 1.

I've raced on all seven continents at least twice. I've probably run thousands of races. But the single race that I'm most proud is a 10K. Yes, a 10K. I ran it with my daughter on her 10th birthday.

If you just go out there and run 100 miles, it breaks down a lot of barriers in terms of self-imposed limitations.

I love surfing, rock climbing, cycling - all that stuff. But it's just amazing that I can inspire people with my running. It's humbling, really.

Personally, I don't stretch, I don't get massages. Maybe massages would be useful, but I just don't have the time for it.

I do a lot of marathons as training runs. If I'm somewhere and there's a marathon, I'll sign up and just go run it.
