Jimmie Johnson

I lift weights four times a week, usually run five days a week.

You watch guys live through their peaks, and then unfortunately, you've got to come down from that peak.

I grew up racing off-road trucks. They were on road courses with jumps. I made a name for myself in that style of racing.

There are some people who watch NASCAR for the highly skilled driving - but most people watch it for the crashes.

David Mamet was great to work with. He was everything that I thought he would be as a director. He's incredibly articulate, an easy collaborator. Extraordinarily knowledgeable about film and writing.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.
