Acting is not my primary drive in life, although I’d be a very unhealthy person without it. – Greg Wise
I’m interested in that drive, that rush to judgment, that is so prevalent in our society. We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning, and in the short term it’s quite a satisfying thing to do, isn’t it? – J. K. Rowling
One reason I’m such a wayward prognosticator of rightwing trends is that I’m incapable of blacking out enough neural sectors to see the world through reptilian-brained eyes, a prerequisite for any true channeling of the mean resentments and implanted fears that drive hardcore conservatives. – James Wolcott
The first thing I ever rode when I was a kid was a motorcycle, so I knew how to drive a motorcycle before a car. – John Travolta
You get nit-picked in the media. Stats are always up saying he doesn’t drive it straight enough or hit enough greens or whatever it is. Then you have to perform, because if you don’t perform, then you’re off the Tour. – Jason Day
I found that, academically, it really didn’t matter whether I had received a certain grade in a class; it didn’t matter too much what schools I wanted to attend… What matters is one’s drive, one’s intelligence. – Jon Huntsman, Sr.
From where we lived, to practise in St Louis was an hour-and-a-half drive each way, so that took a lot of the time. So really, our lives just took different paths. – Jimmy Connors
I’m a racer at heart more than anything else, and that will always be my priority: competing. But ultimately, if you can’t drive, you can still have the competitive spirit outside of a car. – Jacques Villeneuve

My wife will automatically quote and compare the price of diesel at every petrol station we drive by, like she’s got oil-based Tourette’s. – Ian Watson
