“No matter who you are, the game is fluid. The game is always evolving, so you always have to keep working on it. There are plenty of hours in the day to get that done.”

My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.

The majority of my blood is Asian.

My dad used to say, ‘Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn’t influence your intelligence.’

One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people’s expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it.

There’s no sense in going to a tournament if you don’t believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.

I think that in itself, if you’re a true golfer, you’ll see specific things you need to work on. Much cheaper than private lessons.

A golfer should never make a mental mistake because the ball is just sitting there waiting for you to hit it.

And I don’t cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza.

In therapy I have learned the importance of keeping spiritual life and professional life balanced. I need to regain my balance.

I want to be what I’ve always wanted to be: dominant.

Did you guys take enough freakin’ pictures already?

You can always become better.

America’s a melting pot, all races, cultures, religious choices.

My failures have made me look at myself in a way I’ve never wanted to before.

Green and black go well together, dont they?

I treat golf as a sport. I let other people treat it like a hobby.

You don’t wake up one day and discover you’re a lawyer any more than you wake up as a pro football player. It takes time.

All you hear about on the news is all the bad stuff everyday, but what was refreshing to me was after that, you saw how many good people there are out there.

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?

I don’t miss playing football, but I do miss going into the dressing room every day and having a laugh.

One day I’m going to write a book about osprey. It has really gotten deep into my bloodstream. So when you ask what else I do, I feel like this is part of what I do….is to watch these birds.

Thank heaven for little girls! For little girls get bigger every day.

These days, even out of office, I still read economic reports.

A life is a moment in season. A life is one snowfall. A life is one autumn day. A life is the delicate, rapid edge of a closing door’s shadow. A life is a brief movement of arms and of legs.
