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.

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.

Cynicism is full of naive disappointments.

I feel that these stories are being written to articulate certain confusions and disappointments, and I do mean to shake up the reader, and I do hope they're on target.

Reality is the name we give to our disappointments.

Show business is made up of disappointments, and it's through life's disappointments that you grow.

Of course there will be disappointments and the way will not always be as I expected it. But if it seemed easy, then that would be the time to worry that I am on the wrong path.

A great number of the disappointments and mishaps of the troubled world are the direct result of literature and the allied arts. It is our belief that no human being who devotes his life and energy to the manufacture of fantasies can be anything but fundamentally inadequate.

But when you're a celebrity, you discover that you're no longer the pursuer, but the one being pursued. That's one of the disappointments I have had since becoming a single man.

All have disappointments, all have times when it isn't worthwhile.

The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be.

I've run a lot of miles over the years, some fast and some not so fast. I've won some big races and I've had some big disappointments, but I enjoy the freedom of running and the challenge of training and competition as much now as when I first started back in high school.

We must return optimism to our parenting. To focus on the joys, not the hassles; the love, not the disappointments; the common sense, not the complexities.

The talk of winning our share is not the easy one of disengagement and flight, but the hard one of work, of short as well as long jumps, of disappointments, and of sweet success.

Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.

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.

I shall take all the troubles of the past, all the disappointments, all the headaches, and I shall pack them in a bag and throw them in the East River.

I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.

Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.

We all have an equal interest in stability and security throughout Europe. The years the OSCE has existed, and particularly this year, have given rise to great expectations and at the same time to powerful disappointments.

Alas! Alas! Life is full of disappointments; as one reaches one ridge there is always another and a higher one beyond which blocks the view.

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.

What is public history but a register of the successes and disappointments, the vices, the follies and the quarrels of those who engage in contention for power.

But in the next world I shan't be doing music, with all the striving and disappointments. I shall be being it.
