It's the equivalent of putting on the brakes suddenly while driving uphill.

Once you're on the wheel, you don't come off.

When you step on the brakes your life is in your foot's hands.

Look, if you're driving down the highway at 120 miles an hour, I'd rather be behind the wheel than in the backseat.

Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.

Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.

If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.

I'm learning not to hold on so tightly to my solitude. It's not an economical way to work. A driver would call it 'white-knuckling.' If you're holding on to the wheel so tightly, it's gonna lock up your driving. Releasing myself from trying to control everything has been part of growing up.

Playing upside down is insane. It's two or three times more difficult than what's normal. Your feet want to come off the pedals, your arms want to drop down - all of your body is fighting gravity.

The brutal reality about aging is that it has only an accelerator pedal. We have yet to discover whether a brake exists for people.
