I slowly continued to compensate for the physical problems I was having and ended up completely destroying my swing, my set-up, my posture. Everything was gone.

Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.

But you know, I'm just not a quitter.

You do what you need to if you're serious about playing great golf.

It's easy at times to win golf tournaments and shoot 59, and sometimes it's hard to post an 85.

When I'm swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.

I've just been working hard, trying to get some good stuff to come out.

I didn't do anything spectacular when I won the Open in 2001. I hit the ball good, not great. I putted good, not great, but I think I missed maybe two putts inside eight feet all week.

You've got to make an effort on your own. Some people don't even try.

I think about what I say. I don't give stock answers. I'm not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.

At the U.S. Open, you're going to make bogeys.

Though life has to be lived forward, it can only be understood backwards

He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.

Comedy is difficult for an actor. But I think I have a good sense of humor and manage to make people laugh and make them happy.

I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again.

Day by day, we are becoming what we shall be eternally. The spirit who convicts us is also the spirit who consoles.

It's the unknown that draws people.

If the wicked flourish and the fittest survive, Nature must be the god of rascals.

If you want your neighbor to know what Christ will do for him, let the neighbor see what Christ has done for you.

What men don't want, in fact what anyone who's any sort of thrill-seeking, intelligent adult doesn't want, is some crushing bore describing their emotions in real time every waking hour.

I try so hard to live in the moment - I don't think ahead very much.
