“Every sport evolves. Every sport gets bigger and more athletic, and you have to keep up.”

I always feel pressure. If you don’t feel nervous, that means you don’t care about how you play. I care about how I perform. I’ve always said the day I’m not nervous playing is the day I quit.

In order to hit a good golf shot at that moment in time when you’re standing over the ball, you must believe that golf shot is the most important things in your life.

My mind is my biggest asset.

Winning is not always the barometer of getting better.

Golf is a great way for someone to learn discipline, responsibility and sportsmanship?

I don’t want to become as good as I once was. I want to become better.

I think the guys who are really controlling their emotions, are going to win.

All I know is I’ve tried my best.

I don’t just want to be the best black player or the best Asian player. I want to be the best golfer ever.

I’m trying as hard as I can, and sometimes things don’t go your way, and that’s the way things go.

Talent is something you are born with, and a skill is something you develop. 99% of what you need to succeed in golf are skills.

The biggest thing is to have a mind-set and a belief you can win every tournament going in.

I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.

I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.

I believe that my creative mind is my greatest weapon.

When you look at all of the great players who ever played the game, they all had that other gear that they could go to, and it makes a world of difference.

My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We’ve all been very athletic.

Football, that’s just athletics. But in the business world – doing everything – people are competing. So you need good work ethics, and I think it helped me to develop good work ethics, being in a small town.

With the NBA’s dress code, I had to revamp my wardrobe a little bit. They call it ‘business casual.’ You have to wear dress jeans or dress slacks, with a collared shirt or sweater. And you can’t wear athletic shoes.

I always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid. I just love competing in any kind of athletics.

There’s no other heavyweight in the division like me, especially when it comes into the athletic department. I’m the most athletic heavyweight in the division.

The game of baseball is a clean, straight game, and it summons to its presence everybody who enjoys clean, straight athletics. It furnishes amusement to the thousands and thousands.

Athletics keeps us healthy, gets us up and running around. It also gives you an opportunity to meet a lot of different people, which is very important.

It takes tremendous will to compete in any athletic endeavor, so it meant going to bed early and getting my homework done in advance. I had to sacrifice things, like a social life, to be a skater at 15. But I loved skating so much that it was worth everything to me.
