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

Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.

I love to compete. That’s the essence of who I am.

I was unfaithful, I had affairs, I cheated.

The thing you don’t dream about as a kid is all the peripheral stuff that comes with success.

If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.

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.

We all make decisions. But in the end, our decisions make us.

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 do what I like now. I just don’t have time for it all.

Choose to soften. Again and again and again. Despite, despite, despite.

Every choice we make contains the energy of either faith or fear, and the outcome of every decision reflects to some extent that faith or fear. This dynamic of choice guarantees that we cannot run away from ourselves or our decisions.

First one must understand conditioning – only then can we speak of choice

Real poetry, is to lead a beautiful life. To live poetry is better than to write it.

Even though negativity begs for my attention, I will still choose to focus on the joy in my life.

What drains your spirit drains your body. What fuels your spirit fuels your body.

I prefer to live in a rented house. No ties. Nothing around my neck. Just the minimum kind of bare comforts of home.
