On his friendship with James Dean, "In those final days, racing was
what he cared about most. I had been teaching him things like how to
put a car in a four-wheel drift, but he had plenty of skill of his own.
If he had lived he might have become a champion driver. We had a
running joke, I'd call him Little Bastard and he'd call me Big Bastard.
I never stop thinking of those memories."
