“I’m not like Tiger. I can’t play one week and win.”

I’ve always said that I play for the fans.

I love the fans here in Australia.

I can’t dwell on the past, that I haven’t won a lot, but anytime I didn’t play good was mainly because I didn’t putt very good.

I’ve always been a good ball-striker, but if you’re not a great putter, you’re not going to win a lot.

The fans have always helped me get through good things and bad things on and off the golf course.

I guess you can say I always liked to take chances.

I’m a kind of go-getter.

I’ve had it with the USGA and the way they run their tournaments. The USGA loves to embarrass guys who play in their tournaments.

My dad being not the greatest dad in the world has made me a better parent.

I wasn’t a silver-spoon kid on the golf course growing up.

It’s not like I’m starting out with $500 a pull or $1,000 a pull. I go in there and play $25, and if I win, I play $100s.

I didn’t want to admit I had problems. I just let ’em build up. I didn’t want anybody to know I was hurtin’.

In life, you have got to make the best of every situation; you have to keep going.

I would walk off a course. I think I lost a little bit of respect, but hopefully I’ve gained that back.

Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t.

I’ve had enough of worrying about everybody else. Now I’m taking care of me.

If people really liked to work, we’d still be plowing the land with sticks and transporting goods on our backs.

Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.

I feel like I’ve always wanted to live in one place and stay in one place, but I always end up choosing things that make me travel.

The brain of man, like that of all animals is double, being parted down its centre by a thin membrane. For this reason pain is not always felt in the same part of the head, but sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other, and occasionally all over.

People want to know about the details of politicians, what they like doing in their spare time, about their families. I think that’s human.

Love is the extra effort we make in our dealings with those whom we do not like and once you understand that, you understand all. This idea that love overtakes you is nonsense. This is but a polite manifestation of sex. To love another you have to undertake some fragment of their destiny.

If people don’t like my opinions, it makes little difference as I don’t solicit their opinions or votes.

There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast.
