I had two older brothers, so I was always competing with them. The guys I grew up with on the golf course, when I was 13, they were 15 or 16, and I was always trying to beat them.

A lot of my buddies also played golf, but when it came to going to the beach or on the boat and chasing girls, they usually went that way and I went to the golf course.

The beauty of golf, you're in charge out here.

The course is going to make you look silly sometimes. You have to be able to accept that and move on.

...(W)here there's drama, there's crap.

A woman is subject matter enough.

I always wear what I'm comfortable in. If one designer doesn't like what I'm wearing, the next one will.

Are you suggesting that we reopen the Opera with a murder as an added attraction?

You have to learn to do everything, even to die.

It is a duty we owe to posterity to see that our children shall know the virtues, and rise worthy of their sires.

The universe is permeated with the odor of turpentine!

By genocide we mean the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group.

Successful people take big risks knowing that they might fall hard. But, they might succeed more than they ever dreamed, too.

I can't be the Mayor of L.A. I hate the Dodgers. I'm a Yankee fan. Yankee fans can't ever root for the Dodgers.
