I was stupid when I started: the epitome of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It was like, 'I get to live in L.A. and drive around in limos? Really?' I didn't realize I was owned. The more money gets pumped into you, the more you become a marionette. It made me a true redneck in attitude: I never wanted to wake up ever again feeling owned.

His gaze strayed to her mouth as her tongue darted out to swipe cream off her bottom lip. He had to actually bite back a groan at the sight. He'd been with women who knew how to seduce, how to do everything right - because it was all choreographed and fake. With Dominique, he knew there was not artifice. Even if she was driving him crazy.

You can get into a very fancy car and know everything about the engine, but when you drive in that car, you feel that rush. In the same way, I think the more you know about love, the more you can enjoy it. And knowing about your personality type, who you are and what kind of person you're dealing with gives you a great leg up.

Sometimes, I tell my wife I have to take a car trip and collect new memories - I like to drive around at absolute random for weeks on end through the United States and parts of Canada. Or else I feel trapped, like you feel when your life is completely planned for months in advance, and you think you're not getting enough oxygen.

In our fast-forward culture, we have lost the art of eating well. Food is often little more than fuel to pour down the hatch while doing other stuff - surfing the Web, driving, walking along the street. Dining al desko is now the norm in many workplaces. All of this speed takes a toll. Obesity, eating disorders and poor nutrition are rife.

“I started out selling IBM products to tire manufacturers in the midlands of Britain -- thousands of miles from headquarters. The company tried all sorts of different things to motivate the sales team, but checks always spoke far louder than any of my sales managers' words. In a nutshell, driving greater sales success is mostly about setting clear and simple goals, and delivering financial rewards quickly.”

“I wouldn't be surprised to see it start come down slowly, ... I think market trends are going to start driving prices down. I think when prices got to a $3.29 and $3.39 rate, everybody was calling me, saying, 'Why is everyone pricing like that?' The market has never been through anything like this and I think a lot of people didn't know where to price.”

“You know what's tough; when I'm driving here and I think, 'God, I have to be Ozzie today,' and you don't feel like it, ... [Maybe] we've lost three games in a row, four in a row, and I have to show up, open that door and put a smile on my face and pat those guys on the butt and joke around when I'm dying inside. That's not easy.”

“I will take some of the information I learned from him (Dale Jr.) and take it back to the police department, items such as cornering techniques. We always want to prevent an accident from happening, taking the safest approach to the situation. We learned a lot about positioning today, be it on the track or the highway. But with him being in a sports car, it was easier. The police car was like driving a tank compared to the Corvette.”

“We don't want grown men having sex with young girls. We make a lot of choices for our children: We don't allow them to vote, we don't allow them to drink, we don't allow them to drive cars, we don't allow them to serve in wars at age 13, whether they want to or not, and we don't allow them to have sex with grown men.”
