I think you can be happy and still be competitive. A good lesson for everybody is to think a bit before you speak and represent who you really are instead of the brash emotional you. Danica Patrick bitebrashcompetitive Change image and share on social
Take those chances and you can achieve greatness, whereas if you go conservative, you'll never know. I truly believe what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Even if you fail, learning and moving on is sometimes the best thing. Danica Patrick achievechanceconservative share on social

I'm probably not 100 pounds anymore, but around there. I definitely got obsessed with my weight. When I met my husband and realized that he could put on 50 pounds and I'd still love him, I realized that's how he sees me or at least how he should! Danica Patrick anymorehusbandlove share on social
Maybe back in the day you didn't need to be the greatest looking to be on TV and you didn't need to speak the best, but in this day and age, I think you need to be the package. You need to look the part for your sponsors, you need to be able to speak the part for the media and to big CEOs. Danica Patrick agebackbig share on social
I feel like, sometimes, people, because of the amount of media, because of the amount of attention, people seem to think I have to do things. Like, I have to win right now! But I don't feel like that. Danica Patrick amountattentionfeel Change image and share on social
No matter how good you are, how brave you are or anything, it comes down to that car so many times. Not every time, but so many times. Danica Patrick bravecargood Change image and share on social
