I mean, when I was growing up, my family was always into racing. So, we'd always have the TV on on Sundays watching the Cup races or whatever, and ultimately I kinda thought about wanting to become a race car driver. I thought it would be cool to get paid to do what you love to do most.

My favorite was Jeff Gordon. I just followed him growing up because I started watching racing when he came on the scene.

When I was coming up through the ranks, I won a lot - and probably won too much.

There's no better benefit than being out on the racetrack, learning what's going on with the track and the tire and all that stuff. To me, that's a big influence.

I watch a lot of drama because I do associate comedy with work.

I think great humor lies in playing the truth of a situation. I see myself as a performer and that applies to a Greek drama or a modern comedy.

I remember practically every joke I've ever heard in my life.

Humor is so important to the American scene throughout history.
