Do it no matter what. If you believe in it, it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it, then that's their problem. But if you do have a passion, an honest passion, just do it.

More quotes by Mario Andretti
Speed is relative. You have to live it. You can't just jump into it. You have to live it all the time.
Mario Andretti
If things don't seem out of control, you're not going fast enough.
Mario Andretti
If you think you're always in control, then you're not going fast enough.
Mario Andretti
In racing, there is no question who is best - the first one to cross the finish line wins first prize. But with wine, even if you make the best wine in the world, someone isn't going to like it, because it isn't their style. Judging wine is very subjective.
Mario Andretti
Love what you do. Believe in your instincts. And you'd better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day.
Mario Andretti
Anybody who can drive and doesn't come out of it a rich man is a fool.
Mario Andretti
Failure is sucess if we learn from it.
Mario Andretti

But really - look at the span of my career, and it's something people dream about. And to be spared major injury: I had some moments along the way, but being able to retire on my own terms after having driven during those decades when safety conditions were more precarious than today - am I lucky, or  what?
Mario Andretti
I count my blessings every day, quite honestly, because I take nothing for granted.
Mario Andretti
You can't take a vacation from speed. I probably could have taken more time off and not driven in all the different disciplines, but I wanted to drive, drive and drive.
Mario Andretti
The experts or the cynics say, Oh, those were the good old days, that's when drivers were really drivers. They didn't have all these aids. You know what? What we had, we did the best with and when we got more we provided what was needed.
Mario Andretti
When you are losing it can seem like there is a black cloud following you around, but like they say there is a silver lining in every cloud.
Mario Andretti
From the driver's standpoint I had the same horrors, the same satisfactions, the same everything. The speed is relative. It's faster and things are happening quicker, but you have the equipment to handle it.
Mario Andretti
Every NASCAR driver watches Formula One in the morning they are well informed.
Mario Andretti
You're safer in the race car than you are in cars going to and from the track.
Mario Andretti
My last race was at Le Mans in 2000, my first race was in 1959, so I dodged a lot of bullets along the way, I can tell you that.
Mario Andretti
You dream what you're supposed to do
Mario Andretti
The only thing that happens if you wait, is that you get older.
Mario Andretti
I don't have many superstitions, just dumb things I don't talk about. I will not sign an autograph with a green pen.
