If there's one great thing I think that's happened over the years, it's that women are being accepted into a man's world in all different areas, whether it's flying an airplane or driving a race car.

More quotes by Danica Patrick
I never thought I'd be a role model this early. It caught me off-guard, but it says a lot about how I was brought up, what my values have been, and how my parents raised me. It's very flattering that being myself is enough to be a role model.

I've never been bashful to say that I'm not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England, it's all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States, I realised how much I loved being back in the States...

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
I didn't want to fall back. But I realized it was more important to make it to the end under my own power than to run flat out in the lead or in second and then run out of fuel with a lap to go.

The first Indy was definitely the one I remember. It's my favorite race I've ever done. It's the most memorable race I've ever done, for sure. Even more than when I won. I just remember everything about it.

In motorsports we work in the grey areas a lot. You're trying to find where the holes are in the rule book.

No one wants to hear my perspective on politics, but I think honestly as you get older, you get more interested in it.

My first Indy 500 was one of my high points. I ended up qualifying fourth and I finished fourth. I had a win in Japan a few years later, and then qualifying for Daytona was great as well.

Every time I get into a Nationwide car after being in a Cup car, I feel so much more comfortable than I did previously.
Danica Patrick
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
I would also tell kids to make sure that they love whatever they end up doing in life. To really be good at something and excel you have to love it and have to be dedicated to it. Not every day is great and not every day is easy, but you do it because you love it.
Danica Patrick
I've been taught from a young age to want to be the best driver... It was about being the best driver and not the best girl.
Danica Patrick
I'm definitely different and I know that.
Danica Patrick
One of the areas I have a little less confidence in is giving any kind of a speech.
Danica Patrick
I think you have to feel comfortable with your car. You have to go into Turn 1, every lap, with confidence. You have to be sure of yourself and your equipment.

Together, we can put the brakes on breast cancer.
Danica Patrick
It would be hypocritical of me to use being female in some ways, and diss being female in other ways. It's part of the programme.
Danica Patrick
So many people have that story as to how they could have maybe won the Indy 500, which is for me the ultimate goal. I would imagine for a lot of people it's the ultimate goal. It's definitely high up on the list.
Danica Patrick
In this society these days, women are widely accepted in all kinds of cross-gender areas. So yeah, it's time!
Danica Patrick
I'm a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, that's great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me.
