Long Beach is the best. I tell everyone that.

You do the best you can with what's thrown at you, then you try again.

I wanted to have a career that would last a hundred years if possible.

Not all teammates tell the truth.

The most important thing at Daytona is, are you going to have friends willing to work with you during the race as far as drafting? You've got to have friends out there. You can't do it alone. You form those relationships as the race moves along.

If the Indy Racing League didn't have the Indianapolis 500, do you think it would have lasted more than six months? No chance.

It makes great conversation to discuss what's wrong with open-wheel racing today.

Foreign players is what makes golf so popular now.

When you start thinking you may get hurt, it's time to get out of racing.

You do a period of go-karting until you're at the age of qualifying for a ride in a 'school-kart,' then you qualify for driving school. And several of the driving schools have a competition series for their own students.

At Indy, we are the NASA of the production-car world, and that's clearly why manufacturers are involved - it's such a good testbed.

Age doesn't affect driving - how do you like that?

A father-son relationship is strong, like no other teammates. You could be straightforward with one another.

I always say that every win has something that is special.

The United States is the only country where a driver can have a successful career - either in stock cars or IndyCar - and he won't need a passport.

Nothing compares to the Indianapolis 500.

Nobody had race savvy like Al Unser in his prime.

Quite honestly, I treat myself with cars I really want to drive, and I have some flexibility to do that.

Whatever the changes, from one era to the next, Pocono has maintained its character and significance to me, and it always will. My family shares this sentiment.

I wish we could be 100% shielded from danger, but nothing is in life.

Can the U.S. support two Formula 1 races? I think so.

From a prestige standpoint, the U.S. needs to host Formula 1. And I think Formula 1, they know they need the U.S. as well. So many companies that are global are based in the United States support Formula 1.

I don't remember as a kid wanting to do or be anything else but drive something, be a race driver.

My wife loves football, but I think she's resigned to the fact that I'll never make it there.

I still have the competitive spirit, which is good.

If you weren't on Chris Economaki's radar screen, you probably weren't on anybody's.

I've driven just about every kind of car there is.

At Andretti Winery, I'm not the winemaker.

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal--a commitment to excellence--that will enable you to attain the success you seek. --Mario Andretti

If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough.

I like to think that the Grand Prix helped Long Beach to pretty much change its image.

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

If you think life is in control, you're not going fast enough.

If everything's under control, you're going too slow.

If you feel like you're under control, you're just not going fast enough.

If you have everything under control, you're not moving fast enough.

I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

Friendship is everything. Friendship is more than talent. It is more than the government. It is almost the equal of family.- Don Corleone

Great men are not born great, they grow great . . .

Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment.

Revenge is a dish that tastes best when served cold.

Do you believe a man can truly love a woman and constantly betray her?Never mind physically but betray her in his mind,in the very "poetry of his soul".Well,it's not easy but men do it all the time.

I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.

A friend should always underestimate your virtues and an enemy overestimate your faults

The lawyer with the briefcase can steal more money than the man with the gun.

A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.

You cannot say 'no' to the people you love, not often. That's the secret. And then when you do, it has to sound like a 'yes'. Or you have to make them say 'no.' You have to take time and trouble.

I don't trust society to protect us, I have no intention of placing my fate in the hands of men whose only qualification is that they managed to con a block of people to vote for them.

Italians have a little joke, that the world is so hard a man must have two fathers to look after him, and that's why they have godfathers.

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
