It's a lot of fun coming out for a practice round and having the crowd behind you and cheering you on (a few) days before the event.

I push myself to be the best I can be. I don't worry about what other people are doing, and I don't think about things I can't control.

You just have to try and keep on grinding and hope that things will turn around eventually.

There are no shortcuts to success.

On the first tee I kept telling myself, "Trust yourself, you can do it."

I stay patient. I don't go out there and try to set a course record. That's probably one of my strengths and one reason I've been able to win major championships.

A lot of people think I am cold and have no feelings. But I do. I just try very hard to focus and not let my emotions take over on the golf course.

To play well you have to have good balance in your life. Tiger has found that. If you play golf long enough you'll learn that life is more than golf.

I still get butterflies on the first tee. I still get sweaty hands, and my heart pumps a lot going down the 18th. But I know what winning is all about now, and that's a feeling that I like.

When I first came on tour, I was playing for money. Now I'm playing to win golf tournaments and the money is more than I ever dreamed I could make.

I love to crunch numbers. I look at how many fairways I hit, how many greens I hit. I plan my way around the golf course.

If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat.

We couldn’t believe our luck, and for a little while it felt like we were on some big train rolling down a hill, and all we cared about was how great it felt to be going fast.

The career of flowers differs from ours only in inaudibleness. I feel more reverence as I grow for these mute creatures whose suspense or transport may surpass my own.

Nothing is so common as unsuccessful men with talent. They lack only determination.

I live in an apartment building built in 1925, and it hasn't been heavily renovated, so I feel very much connected to that time and what went on in that place.

I have a shield. It's the most amazing shield ever. I don't see them. I don't feel them. If anything, "Hey come over, let me touch you so I can heal you." You get what I'm saying?

Democrats work to help people who need help. That other party, they work for people who don't need help. That's all there is to it.

Around 80 per cent of my money goes to charity.

If we know how much passive violence we perpetrate against one another, we will understand why there is so much physical violence plaguing societies and the world.
