“If I ever won the Indy 500, I can tell you that I wouldn't worry about my engine…” — Alex Zanardi

I have a little bit of a big head.

I haven't done any of the things I have done to inspire others, but I am sure that if I am watching my story from the outside I would be joining the club saying, 'Wow, that guy really gets you going.'

I try to, pardon the expression, stay with my feet on the ground.

For me just the fact to be alive is sufficient motivation to want to improve my life quality.
