The way I grew up playing, and the way most Americans have grown up, is that you hit the ball up in the air and then it stops where it lands.

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.

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

Do you have any idea how much I've loved you?

I never force myself to be devout except when I feel so inspired, and never compose hymns of prayers unless I feel within me real and true devotion.

I did go through a period where I was on unemployment. That was my low point: Martha Quinn on line at unemployment, hoping nobody will recognize her.

I'm from California, and still live in LA.

Staying in a hopeless and miserable situation doesn't make you loyal, it just makes you miserable.

Communists liked history very much. It just had to be the right history. They liked to remember it selectively.
