I was more worried about what other people would think rather than, you know, me. But you have got to do what is right for yourself and what you feel comfortable with.

More quotes by Rory McIlroy
It's a great feeling to know that I've played the best golf throughout the season of any of the guys for the second time in three years, it's really nice.
Rory McIlroy
Everything is firing on all cylinders for me.
Rory McIlroy
I kept telling myself this word, process. Focus on my process, don't care about the result.
Rory McIlroy
You get thrown off balance out there. And I never recovered. Well, I haven't recovered yet.
Rory McIlroy
If somebody asks me whether I'd rather sink the winning putt in the Ryder Cup or win a major, it's the major every day. World championship or Ryder Cup? Win a world championship. At the end of the day you're going to be remembered for what you achieve in an individual sport.
Rory McIlroy
In a serious sense, wanting to change something from the past doesn't work for me - change something you don't enjoy now rather than regretting it later.
Rory McIlroy
As long as I keep enjoying my golf, then hopefully I'll be able to play well.
Rory McIlroy
I don't really remember, but from about the age of five I told anyone who would listen that I was going to be the best golfer in the world.
Rory McIlroy
Of course, money matters to everyone even if some don't want to admit it. If I won the Race to Dubai, I look at that prize money and think it could pay off my new house or the range I'm building. I am privileged to play golf for a living - look around St Andrews, that's my office.
Rory McIlroy
The fact is, I've always felt more British than Irish. Maybe it was the way I was brought up, I don't know, but I have always felt more of a connection with the U.K. than with Ireland.
Rory McIlroy
My dad's a scratch golfer and I've got the knack of seeing something and then replicating it. I saw my dad swing a club and I worked out how to do the same thing. My backswing and follow-through have been basically the same since I was two.
Rory McIlroy
My game wasn't where it should have been at all at the start of the year. I got into a couple of bad habits on my swing, and it just took me a little bit of time to get out of them.
Rory McIlroy
I'm afraid there are no replays or second chances in amateur or professional golf, and that's the way it should be.
Rory McIlroy
In all honesty, I never actually did anything wrong (in my eyes, at least) at school or misbehaved in any big way. If it was anything, it was probably just a lot of clowning around.
Rory McIlroy
I have always said I will try to answer questions honestly. I don't want to change that about myself. I think people appreciate that about me.
Rory McIlroy
Sport was an obvious favourite of mine, and not only golf. I was, and still am, a big rugby fan.
Rory McIlroy
I'm happy with the success I've had, and I feel like there's been a lot that I've learned this year, and that's a great thing going into the future.
Rory McIlroy
Home will always be Northern Ireland but my schedule means for the next few years I won't be there as much. I can't do the same things that I did a year ago. That is I'm something conscious of, but I'm not sad about it. It's fine.
Rory McIlroy
I mean I don't want to feel inferior to any other golfer in the world. You know if you do that, then you know you're giving them an advantage, you know, right off the - you know, right from the start.
Rory McIlroy
I started to really believe in myself, and my abilities, when I won the World Under-10 championship in Doral, Florida. I was nine and saw for the first time that I was amongst the best players in the world for my age. This was a massive confidence-builder for me.
