Drive Quote by Michelle Monaghan
“I can't even drive a five-speed on a car. I went to truck-driving school to prepare and it was a challenge. I made a deal with myself that I wouldn't make the movie if I could not get my license. There were a couple of days where I thought I wouldn't be able to, so it was a proud moment when I did. There were even one or two times where I parallel parked. But I ran over so many cones getting to that point.”

![“I hate it [driving] more than anything in the whole world. I'm just an awful, awful driver. I get lost, I hit things (parked cars, one moving car, a pole in my parking garage). Just when I think I got everything under control, I'll miss seeing something out of the corner of my mirror.” quote by Rachael Leigh Cook](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dfb/rachael-leigh-cook-15541_awful_i-hate-it-driving-more-than-anything-in_2264696.jpg)
![“It was very fortuitous that the show [True Detective] actually spans seventeen years - so as I was getting older on the show, I was gaining weight. When I'm playing fifty, I'm ten pounds heavier! I don't know if they thought maybe I was method? But it actually worked to my benefit.” quote by Michelle Monaghan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d34/michelle-monaghan-9225_benefits_it-was-very-fortuitous-that-the-show-tru_316406.jpg)
