I'm a golfer - not an athlete.

Race horses are like golfers, you're never sure how they're going to come out of the stalls. It's just - hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It's paid for its hay.

I'm a golfer - not an athlete.

You don't win tournaments by playing well and thinking poorly.

The Singapore Open is the flagship event of the Asian Tour, it is a massive event and it is being played in a great place. I love coming here and it is good to be back.

No, I don't have any problems leaving disappointments behind. I've had lots of good days at golf and a few disappointments, so you never know what's around the corner.

Eighteen months ago I weighed 95kg and had a 40-inch waist. Now the waist is down to 34 inches and I weigh nearly 98kg.

Golf is difficult to get your personality over because you are such a bottle of concentration.

Golf is played between the ears and if you are not 100 percent focused on what you are trying to do, then people will go past you no matter who you are.

I never take myself too seriously.

I'm 37, I'm pretty fit and feel I have another eight years left - which means there's 32 Majors still to go at.

I'm heavier, but with muscle rather than flab. It's a massive difference. It means I don't get as tired sometimes and it means that I'm hitting the ball a lot farther, about 15 yards more with my driver.

I'm the best in the world.

I'm working my way steadily back and I'm feeling good.

In my case what happened next in 1999 was that I fell apart over that back nine. When I saw I was in genuine contention that year I felt like throwing up. That remains probably the most nervous I've ever been on a golf course.

It's such a psychological and mental game, golf, that the smallest wrong thing at the wrong time can distract you from what you're trying to achieve.

Listen, everything I did in my childhood was competitive. Everything we did my dad made it into a game to win. We used to drive my mum nuts.

My dad said: 'It looks like you'll be world No.1 in a few hours and I wanted to be the first to say congratulations.'

People always say golfers don't smile. But there is so much psychology in golf so we have to be a bit robotic.

People confuse being world No. 1 with winning a Major championship.

Probably the best caddies are the smartest ones and the ones that are switched on mentally more than some of the others maybe.

Sometimes Americans don't quite get my sense of humor. My good ol' British sarcasm seems to go over their heads.

The satisfaction you get when you finally beat your dad is amazing, that rush of adrenaline.

The story of the week is you have got to putt well to win the Masters and I haven't putted well.

Yeah, I feel good. Good about my game and my life.

Yeah, two or three weeks ago I was fairly snappy. I've never been injured before and this year it feels like I've hardly played.

Yes, a Major would mean so much to me but I'm a great believer that if you work hard and in the right way, you will get what you deserve.

Success will always be measured by the extent to which we serve the buying public.

Surfing is the most blissful experience you can have on this planet, a taste of heaven.

Here, loved be God, is all well and truly determined for to resist the malice of him that had best cause to be true, the Duke of Buckingham, the most untrue creature living; whom, with God's grace, we shall not be long till that we will be in that parts and subdue his malice.

If a mother is mourning not for what she has lost but for what her dead child has lost, it is a comfort to believe that the child has not lost the end for which it was created.

Social situations, for me - it's very natural for me to be an observer. That's where I'm most comfortable. I observe things.

I went into broadcast journalism. I loved every class I took, I just got anxious because I came to the realization that you're groomed in high school to get good SAT scores to get into a good college or else you're done for.

The purpose of random testing is not to catch, punish, or expose students who use drugs, but to save their lives and discover abuse problems early so that students can grow up and learn in a drug-free environment.

I have never played the lottery in my life and never will. Voltaire described lotteries as a tax on stupidity. More specifically, I think, on innumeracy.

Perhaps nobody ever accomplishes all that he feels lies in him to do; but nearly every one who tries his power touches the walls of his being.

I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and the possibility of alternate realities.

Don’t let other people decide who you are.

Sometimes those who don't socialize much aren't actually anti-social, they just have no tolerance for drama and fake people.

With its population making up one fifth of the world's total, China offers a market with enormous potential.

Each year on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth, America has the opportunity to reflect on our nation's progress towards the realization of his dream.

Life as a voice actress is tough. It's not an easy career.

One of the great challenges of our age, in which the tools of our productivity are also the tools of our leisure, is to figure out how to make more useful those moments of procrastination when we're idling in front of our computer screens.

Our brightest blazes are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks.

The case decided on Thursday, though, seemed promising to takings fans because it wasn't about compensation. It was about the requirement that any government taking must have a 'public purpose.'

As an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I'm a very positive person.

Why talk now when so many things have been said without ever giving me a chance to talk?

I've decided to lead in a way that takes people with me. It's the approach that I think will stand not only our party but also our state in good stead.

Each outing is its own game. You roll on your game plan. It is a different chess match each time you go out there. I just try to be prepared.
