McQueen: “Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting.”
That’s what I really liked about him ... engagement with speed. The race scene in Bullitt is a classic.
Yes, it was classic.
The difference between McQueen and most other actors is that he lived it in real life. Cars, motorcycles and learning to fly. Don't know about his level of flying expertise but he was accomplished at driving cars and riding bikes.
Excellent article, thanks for posting it.
