carry concerns hate love remember
Well I would love to do a movie with Paul, but he can't remember lines. And that concerns me. You know, I'd hate to have to carry him in a movie, you know? It'd be tough.
car finest liked porsche sports talking
I've always liked speed. I own a car that I shouldn't be talking about because I'm an environmentalist, but the 1955 Porsche Spyder 550 RS is the finest sports car ever made.
careers passionate environment
I used to feel competitive about a career, but now the only things I'm really passionate about are my family, the environment and Indians.
character cartoon hell
You work like hell to get yourself ahead in the business. You could go anywhere before, and suddenly you can't go anywhere. It's like being a cartoon character.
dark sides be-careful
Be careful of success; it has a dark side.
race expression car
For me, personally, skiing holds everything. I used to race cars, but skiing is a step beyond that. It removes the machinery and puts you one step closer to the elements. And it's a complete physical expression of freedom.
country war car
I was raised in California during the Second World War and into the '50s and everything was fine, everything was great. The sun always shone, everybody looked healthy and wore ties and smoked in restaurants, and there were cars for everybody - except us, because I came from a lower class neighbourhood. But [in France] I realised there was a different point of view, so when I came back to America a year and a half later I was much more focused on my own country culturally and politically.
believe great love
It's such a great city. I would love to come there again, believe me.
command dial event scandal sure
I'm not sure you can have an event like that anymore. When we made the film, as you can see, we had dial phones, there was no Internet, there was no cable, there was no computerization of our culture, and so one event like this -- one scandal -- could command that kind of attention.
areas bob camp children colleague friend inspired paul presenting racing speak worthy
It was never going to be The Paul and Bob Show. Instead, the idea of me presenting a friend who was also a colleague to speak about what inspired him -- his salad-dressing company, his racing interests, his camp for children -- those were areas that I thought were worthy of attention.
happened thank wondered
Oh, thank heavens, ... I wondered when that day would come. It should have happened 35 years ago.
action talk
Talk is not enough. It has to go to action and that is where we are right now.

Sundance is about storytelling. Storytellers can broaden our minds: engage, provoke, inspire, and ultimately, connect us.
