Respected, I almost want to be revered, that's what I'm chasing.

I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it.

And yeah, my handicap was down to a 10 when we were at the thick of it. I trained for six or seven months, golfing every day for six hours, seven days a week, with eight trainers. It was intense.

I go to sleep at night, and I feel like I just dreamed the whole day.

You never have to advertise a fire.

I'm my most creative between 3 and 5 a.m. That's the way I've always been

Did the devil make the world while God was sleeping?
