“I have a bunch from when I played on the Canadian Tour. I’m not superstitious.”

I’m always playing on Sunday, and that’s tough because I really never get to take the sacrament – maybe once every three or four months when I’m home and have a week off.

This whole golf thing was so left field for us, as Polynesians, but he had a lot of knowledge about sports in general. My dad was a genius, really. He was an absolute genius.

It’s something that I dreamed of since I was a kid – to be able to represent my country and play in the Ryder Cup is what dreams are made of.

I have a half-court in my house. If you saw my house, you’d think I was an NBA player.

I am extremely proud to be of Tongan and Samoan descent.

I wear green on Sunday because it’s my mom’s favorite color, but green goes pretty well on Sunday at the Masters, too.

My most important goal is to set myself up on every Sunday to have a chance to win, and I know if I do those things, then everything else will take care of itself.

I find that my upbringing in the Church and my relationship with God are huge benefits to me in helping me become the kind of person that I want to become.

I’m from Samoan heritage, and with the rugby in our blood and everything,

It’s a cool thing to see Polynesians – there’s not too many of us, period – but especially doing well in American sports. It’s pretty cool.

I didn’t have really much of a social life in high school, and I’m not really a partyer, so college wasn’t super appealing to me at the time.

It’s a privilege to be in a position to give back, and one that I take pretty seriously because I know what it’s like… to be less fortunate, to be less privileged.

I just had different circumstances than most players, and I think that has been an advantage.

Staying in the moment is not worrying about the outcome but just focusing on the process on the next shot.

The No. 1 institution in the world is family. It’s so powerful.

For so many years, I was watching my tee shots slide hard to the right.

The 1990s were also when a bunch of the soft-shoe language for race, gender, and class became paramount.

The danger is that if you have a bunch of ideas that you forget to use.

I made a bunch of comedies, I made one drama and I made a couple musicals.

You have the unenviable choice between being dropped off last or being dropped off first and having a bunch of losers who can’t afford cab fare and have no friends or loved ones with cars knowing exactly where you live.

I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.

There’s a bunch of songs that I call B-sides on the record that you could argue could maybe have some potential commercial success with another artist, but for me, they just felt really whack.

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

We artists are a different breed of people. We’re a happy bunch.
