I was way more nervous on the opening day of the Ryder Cup than the first round of any major. Every Ryder Cup match is like being in the last group on Sunday in a major.

Having nerves and feeling the pressure just gets you focused and gets your concentration level where it needs to be. I harness that nervous energy into a positive way.

I've got one Aussie flag on my car. It would be nice to have two.

I think that major championships are as much about attitude as they are anything else.

I think if you are going to base your whole life on what you do on the golf course, you are up for a lot of ups and downs.

I think its easy to enjoy anywhere that you play where you feel like you got a chance to win a lot.

I think if you look at most successful people, if you ask most of them, their biggest influence was their dad.

I think you only hold U.S. Opens on great courses.

Like most kids, my dad played. He would drag us out to the course and make us shag balls for him and caddy and all that kind of stuff.

Life is meant to be lived in 'the zone', not the stands.

At His door, what is the difference between Muslim and Christian, virtuous and guilty? At his door all are seekers and He the sought.

I certainly derived my skills as a prose writer from my scrutiny of poetry and of the individual word. But schools don't do things like that anymore - tracking words down to their roots.

I think there are still words you can't use in family entertainment that you can use in a sitcom today.

Once when I was golfing in Georgia, I hooked the ball into the swamp. I went in after it and found an alligator wearing a shirt with a picture of a little golfer on it.

If young actors ask me things, I always tell them to get on set and watch how it's done. If you can, watch the people that you like, how they work.

I don't think I've done anything important or magnificent. I'm a worker, and the thing I prefer in my life is cinema. When I'm working in cinema, I'm happy. And that's all, you know?

Once upon a time when there was no time.

Danger will wink on opportunity.

The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
