I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York, but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event, a lot more my event.

I think driving in New York is a great experience. A lot more racing techniques go into it than anyplace else I've ever driven. There basically are no lanes.

Even though people involved in racing think that it has a big sporting stage, it is a minority sport compared to some of the other high-profile events: football, Formula One or golf.

I used to perform all the time but I haven't performed in New York in a very long time.

In L.A., everyone is competing for the next job, and in New York, it's pretty much the same thing: competing for a better job.

I think New York audiences are some of the brightest in the world, and certainly the most enthusiastic.

The starting line of the New York Marathon is kind of like a giant time bomb behind you about to go off. It is the most spectacular start in sport.

I love street races; there's something about racing in the middle of a city.
