In school I was pretty fast.

Then suddenly something just kicked me. I kind of woke up and realised that I was in a different atmosphere than you normally are. My immediate reaction was to back off, slow down.

I was already on pole, then by half a second and then one second and I just kept going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car.

I remember it was hard to believe that I was taking a step onto the lunar surface.

I don't recall ever desiring to go as fast as possible.

I came into the world two months too soon, I was in such a hurry.

I'm used to short distances and short bursts of energy; it was just fastest.

Something I should have achieved quite easily took me a long time to get around to.

For most of my life, I've been in a hurry.
