how do you feel about your family, now that youāre an adult?
āI still feel the same way about them. I know that deep down, they did care about me. But, I mean whatās the point of having a damn kid if youāre never going to be around? I basically owe my dad my career since he introduced me to this world, but fuck. I love them but they couldāve done some things differently. even now, as iām making headlines and on the television, iāll be lucky if they shoot me a congratulatory text. iām not complaining since iām used to them being unsupportive robots, but it would be nice get some acknowledgment from the people you looked up to as a kid, you know?
what do you want from life?
āa cliche question deserves a cliche answer: fulfillment. in ten years when iām old as hell and living in one of those top notch nursing homes that feed you steak and mashed potatoes and brush your dentures for you, i want to be able to say i lived in the moment. i want something to tell my grandchildren Ā things from my life thatāll make āem think i was a cool grandpa. āĀ
if you were granted three wishes, what would you ask for?
āanother championship, some furniture, and a better manager.āĀ
what three things would you take to a desert island?
āall the trophies iāve acquired over the years, a million bags of cool ranch doritos, and giselle.āĀ
how do you fall in love? at first sight? over a long period?
ādefinitely not at first sight. how does that even happen? over a long period of time, for sure. when people say theyāre in love and theyāve known the person for about a month, iāll call bullshit. you cannot be truly in love with someone. maybe infatuated, but to be truly in love, ha.āĀ
how do you decide if you can trust someone? experience with others? with this person? first impressions? intuition? do you test the person somehow? or are you just generally disposed to trust or not to trust?
āthe most honest i can give is time. everyone is different with other people, so you just gotta be patient and watch their actions. most of the time, people do things in the best interest of themselves, even if it means being disloyal to others, which makes it difficult to decide who to trust. i would be a complete fool to put my life in the hands of others, fuck that. not even with my parents. when youāre in a position where your live can be literally ruined within the snap of a finger, you become more pessimistic of people and their actions.āĀ
when you walk into a room, what do you notice first? second?
āthe first thing i notice, and thisāll probably sound super fuckinā superficial, is their appearance. like, are they dressed for the occasion? if not, i try my best to limit interactions. i know that wholeĀ ādonāt judge a book by a coverā shit is old news, but we all have flaws to work on. the second thing i notice is if theyāre having a good time. if theyāre sporting a huge smile, iāll try to find someone that isnāt having fun and cheerĀ āem up.āĀ
did you turn out the way you expected? the way your parents predicted?
āi always thought iād turn into one of those snobby kids that is featured on a reality tv show on E! news about rich kids, so i didnāt turn out the way i expected. obviously. and thank God for that. as for my parents, i donāt have a fucking clue. who the fuck knows? i mean, i think they knew theyād play a part in helping me get a better future since they have connections and all, but do you think they predicted that iād turn out to be an alcohol loving person that occasionally and accidentally punches his girlfriend?āĀ
whatās the one thing you have always wanted to do but didnāt/couldnāt/wouldnāt? what would happen if you did do it?
āman, i donāt fuckinā know. honestly.ā
what do you consider are your strengths?
āmy charm, yeah. obviously, there were other candidates that have more experience racing and a hell of a lot more potential, but my charm and parents help got me where i am. iām not saying its ideal, but better to use it than to ignore it, right?āĀ
what do you consider are your strengths?
"it takes a lot to bring me down. there was this rumor going around about me, i forgot what, but my mom calls me crying her eyes out. she was saying that i shouldnāt attend the award show that was happening later that day because it was just going to cause a scene and rile up some people, but i did go and i had a fucking blast. the rumors do get to me, but i always tell myself its going to pass, even when it doesnāt feel like it.āĀ
what do you consider are your weaknesses?
"what, did one of my enemies pay you to ask me this question or something? Ā uh, i guess one of my weaknesses would be how i got my start. my parents basically made a call and i got the job within the snap of a finger, so in a way, iām not used to not being pampered. as a kid, that was all i knew. even now, i have to call a cleaning service to clean my house and i take my laundry to the laundromatĀ on occasion for them to do.āĀ
what is one physical attribute you are proud of?
āmy face, not to sound cocky or anything. iām not saying iām the sexiest man alive, but iām not saying iām some forrest gump lookalike, either.āĀ
what is one physical attribute you would change?
āmy chicken legs. growing up, i guess i didnāt think missing leg day would be that big of a deal.āĀ
if you could be famous for something else, what would it be?
"i would absolutely love to be famous for producing adult magazines and beinā a playboy. before you go and give me that look, just think about it. iām pretty sure every guy wants to do something like hugh hefner, iām just the only one that has the balls to say it.āĀ
what is the worst thing youāve ever done? why?
"oh, you would wanna know, huh? letās say... when i was seventeen, i snuck out of my house and didnāt get home until 10 that morning. my parents had the cops and everyone parked in my yard because they thought i was kidnapped or some shit. i felt so bad that i confessed to the entire thing. it wasnāt until a few years ago that i was told that entire thing was just a set up to make me feel bad.āĀ
describe your ideal mate.Ā
āsomeone that shares the same interests as me. not to sound shallow, but a pretty girl with a not too stuck up attitude. also, someone thatās not afraid to get their hands dirty. obviously, someone that cares about me and isnāt just with me for the money and fame, you know?āĀ
what are you most afraid of?
āto end up like my parents. i know what they did was wrong and i would never want to do that with my future children, but since thatās the only thing i know, what if i involuntarily do? this thought is constantly running in my head.āĀ
whatās the most important thing in your life? what do you value most?
āright now, the most important thing in my life is my trophy for winning the sprint cup. it gives me a sort of validation, you know? like, i know there are people that will always be up my ass about how i was basically handed this job and this trophy is like the best of the best. to me, winning that and getting rewarded makes me feel like iām doing something right.āĀ
how do you feel about your life right now? what, if anything, would you like to change?Ā
āactually, i feel pretty fuckinā blessed. i have such a great job and while there are a few things i wish i could change, iām pretty content with everything for the most part. i have the best fans, a super amazing girlfriend, and a great support system behind me. if i could change one thing, itāll be the thing iāve been wanting since i was a child -- parents. obviously, theyāre there but ... they donāt care? or, i know they do, they just donāt show it. so, if i could change anything, itād be to replace my robot parents with people that actually voice their feelings.āĀ
