Any finish at Le Mans is great but every time I go to Le Mans my mission is to win.
I'm definitely more one of the drivers who would want to do Daytona, Le Mans, and the Indy 500.
As soon as I found MMA, I knew that this is what I wanted to do, and it gave me focus because I was good at it anyway, and it gave me a goal to reach. I kept winning my fights, and it's given me a goal and a career opportunity.
It's an amazing experience for me, coming from the F1 environment and to see a race like Le Mans.
When I arrived at Le Mans nobody knew me, I had to work hard to get into the first-team.
Le Mans takes the best out of everyone. Winning is important but it's not everything. It's such a big and great event in motorsport. You do more kilometres in that one race than Formula One do in a season, and probably a higher average speed. We average about 220km/h including pit stops and cover nearly 5000km.
The Parent Trap gave my career another boost, starring in family comedies.
Just being attached to 'Superman' actually gave a great boost to my career.
Yes, with Le Mans, obviously, the approach needs to be different. You have a race only once a year, so in the whole focus, the whole energy, you know that you cannot change the world and have a race two weeks later.
'Le Mans' is the only racing movie that is totally realistic.

I've done the 24-hour race in Le Mans, which was a dream come true.
All the support and opportunity started and then Le Mans became the pipe dream, the thing to aim for, the end of the rainbow.
I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.
My proudest moments are beating Ferrari for the World Championship in 1965, and working with Ford to win Le Mans in 1966 and 1967.
I grew up in a village just outside Le Mans, so nature and fresh air are among the things I love the most.
