The words got lost somewhere between the brain and the mouth, and it was very difficult but I fought through it. I went to a school to try and get over that, and I just would work my tail off.

You can always become better.
My dad, ex-Green Beret, thinks he's this tough guy. My dad's a softy. Mom was the one I was always afraid of.
He's my best friend. And you know, having your best friend be your father is a very unique thing.
I'm addicted. I'm addicted to golf.
I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that.
I love to compete. That's the essence of who I am.
Buddhism teaches that a creation of things outside ourselves causes an unhappy and pointless search for security. It teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint.
I don't believe that human beings can achieve ultimate enlightenment, because humans have flaws.
I was living a life of a lie. I really was. And I was doing a lot of things, like I said, that hurt a lot of people. And stripping away denial and rationalization you start coming to the truth of who you really are and that can be very ugly. But then again, when you face it and you start conquering…
I saw a person that I never thought I would ever become.
My kids are more important to me than anything else in the world.
I think every great champion who has ever lived would say, yeah, they’re selfish in certain aspects. That’s how you got there. You had to put in extra time in the weight room, extra time running and running, extra time recovering, extra time running their plays or hitting shots or doing the things…
Think of how many hours a professional golfer has spent on the range, by himself, or chipping green by himself, or putting green by himself. Whereas other team sports, you’re always with a teammate. It’s a totally different atmosphere and a totally different mind-set. We can be loners and never see…
I can’t remember the last time I watched golf. I can’t stand it.
What I can't figure out, is why so many good-looking women hang around baseball and basketball. Is it because, you know, people always say that, like, black guys have big dicks?
I just love to compete. I don't care if it's golf or Nintendo or in the classroom. I mean, competing against the other students or competing against myself. I know what I'm capable of.
