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

Golf is my passion, and so is great barbecue.

I know I’m not the only guy that’s had problems in life. And it seems to me that a lot of athletes shy away from talking about things that may have happened to them or their families.

I still wake up every day, so I’m winning.

I don’t like watching golf on TV. I’d rather play.

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.

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.

The child is not an empty being who owes whatever he knows to us who have filled him up with it.

Having a great intellect is no path to being happy.

But if one could go back in time, I’d love to have been directed by Howard Hawks, who’s one of my great heroes. One of the greatest directors there ever was. He directed probably one of the greatest westerns of all time in ‘Rio Bravo’.

Being sober on a bus is, like, totally different than being drunk on a bus.

Why hast thou made me born in this country, The inhabitant of which is satisfied with being a slave?

Nature is but an image of wisdom, the last thing of the soul; nature being a thing which doth only do, but not know.

As a roadie for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, I learned that I should give up being a guitar player.

Being older now, grown, I’m like, ‘What do we really do that’s fun?’ I’m kind of corny when you think about it. What could I rhyme about? Let me see, um, I gotta pay the rent today.
