“I’m really good at math and history, but I suck in English.”

Pretty much my whole career, I have been aggressive. I have always been a guy that goes at pins. That’s kind of the way I’ve been all my career, and I don’t know, really, if I can change.

I can sit here and hit all the balls and chip and putt all day long, but if you’re not playing competitive golf.

A bad day on the course doesn’t have to mean a bad night and a bad week and you get to scream at your agent.

The thing I love about Donald, it’s time this country is run by a businessman and not people with their hands out, and Donald doesn’t have his hands out.

Everybody fights demons. Some are worse than others.

I was young and dumb back in the ’90s, but I had a lot of fun.

I didn’t care to practise as much. That is my only regret.

It’s nice to finally be my own person.

I not only consider him as a friend, but if people get to know Donald Trump, I think they’ll know what I’m talking about. He’s one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever met in my life.

I’m about a 20-handicapper with a guitar. I can only play three songs on my own album. I did the lyrics, not the music.

Watch out for guys like Scott Piercy and Danny Willett. They both play really good on fast, fast greens.

We’re not savages. We’re English.

The most powerful words in English are, ‘Tell me a story.’

I asked a girl who came from America to England, when I was only English, and she admitted she had been to a drama school. And I said, “What did they teach you?” And she said, “They taught me to be a candle burning in an empty room.”

As far as getting work, no one thought I spoke English. It was absolutely ridiculous. I’d show up at a meeting and they’d be like, ‘Oh my God, you speak English! That’s so cool.’ They didn’t really know what to do with me.

The most powerful words in English are ‘Tell me a story,’ words that are intimately related to the complexity of history, the origins of language, the continuity of the species, the taproot of our humanity, our singularity, and art itself.

The English language on her tongue became a smoke-screen, without her eyes changing expression in the least.
