Whether I'm shooting 10-under or 10-over I have to realize people have come a long way to see me play. I can't be back-handing putts.

I will just put four or five extra packs of cigarettes in my bag and I will be fine.

My slogan is who needs fitness when you've got great equipment.

There are probably some things I could do to keep my flexibility up, but I'd rather smoke, drink diet Cokes and eat.

You're playing competitive, and it's always better to play four competitive rounds than it is two because you sit there for a weekend and then you start all over again.

I wasn't this nervous playing golf when I was drinking. It's the first tournament I've won on the PGA Tour in a sober manner, so it's a great feeling knowing I can do it sober. I don't think two years ago I could have pulled this off.

General personal principle: You are generally successful to the degree others want you to succeed. So get adopted! And, even more importantly, it's amazing how much you can get done when you let other people take credit for it.

Stories match the way our species thinks. Equally important, stories are something we share - everyone everywhere tells stories and oddly enough, in the same way. It all probably started around some campfire a million years ago.

Seems I used to do everything like I was on a mission. If it was alcohol, I wanted to drink till I couldn't see straight. If it was golf, I wanted to beat everybody's brains out. If it was driving, I can get there faster'n you can. It's not anybody's fault, I guess. I was stubborn as hell. I had no direction.

[The greatest barriers to forming alliances] are not figuring out what would make others want to join with you. Assuming that what excites you excites others. Spend more time assuming people have good reasons for what they do or say and then figure out those good reasons.

I don't care what anybody says. The first tournament is not the hardest one to win. It's always the second one.

Everyone has addictions and my problem is that I have 5,000 of them. If it's not drinking, it's gambling if it's not gambling, it's eating anything from burgers, doughnuts to M&Ms. The only addiction I don't suffer from is chasing women.

This fitness thing is blown out of proportion. What am I going to do on a treadmill - smoke a cigarette and drink a diet Coke?

It's nice to worry about playing golf and not all the other stuff.

I was never able to have three of four beers. One's too many, and ten just ain't enough. Basically it's the way I've been since high school.
