Danica on describing what she learned at a young age in a male dominated sport in England while being trained to compete in Formula Race car driving: Being a Girl described me, but did not Define me. Losers make bad choices. Winners make the right choices. Peer pressure and situations that tempt your good judgement are where the weak-minded get weeded out from the strong. It was an issue of discipline which was essential in her success or failure as an athlete.
On her description of partying: They're always the same. People drink, they dance, they get stupid, and then they puke or pass out.
On her reply to her host in England who was a male chauvinist telling her to "fetch" something for him: "Are your arms and legs broken? Go get it yourself." :-)
On letting her actions speak louder than words: "There was nothing I could say that would prove my point better than going the fastest or winning races. In the end, the jerks who doubted me usually ended up just feeling stupid." (Maybe they were JUST stupid!).
