I'm not retiring.

I never retired.

I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.

I've been driving since I was 19 years old.

I don't think I'm ever going to retire from stand-up, but what I have retired from is working the road every week.

I can't retire.

When I do retire, I know for a fact that I'll never be able to replace the incredible feeling I get when I'm driving an F1 car.

I see all these old people who don't have anything to do but eat, drink and sleep. I will never say 'retired' because that's such a finality that I don't want to be part of my life. I'll work until they throw me in a box.
