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

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 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.

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.

For convenience sake, we deny the truth and look past it. Instant pleasure transforms quietly into immense pain.

When you feel as if you should conform and be like everyone else....Remember that you were born to stand out and be your uniquely beautiful and talented self.

It is a perfect deception when you can lie to yourself and believe it. You cannot love two people the same. One will always fall by the shadows…even if that one is you.

Pierre [from Dude, Where's My Car?] could be the best thing I've ever done. When you distill it down to a minute and a half of work, that may be my finest effort.

I'm actually a very bad surfer, which is good because everybody likes a bad surfer. Nobody likes a good surfer.

When I was a kid there was a show called 'Holmes & Yo-Yo' about a robot cop. I LOVED that show and I think it only lasted like three episodes.

I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.

With a gun against my belly I... I always smile.

Every day there comes a moment when a person lays his hands in his lap and all his busyness collapses like ashes. The work accomplished is, from the soul's point of view, entirely imaginary.

My wife is amazing. She had to know she was getting into a heap of trouble when we met.
