I was detained a couple of times but that was for not handing in homework because I was playing golf or not present because I was playing golf. There was a theme evolving.

More quotes by Rory McIlroy
The next time I cry about golf it will only be with joy. It's not worth crying over golf for any other reason. After all, it's only a game.
Rory McIlroy
As an international sportsman, I am very lucky to be supported by people all over the world, many of who treat me as one of their own, no matter what their nationality, or indeed mine. This is the way sport should be.
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 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
It's been 18 months since I won on the European Tour and to win the flagship event, I could not have asked for any more.
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
I realise that every time my face is on TV or I'm playing in a tournament, that I am a role model for a lot of people and a lot of kids do look up to me. I try to do my best in that regard and put myself across as honestly and as modestly as possible, as well.
Rory McIlroy
I receive huge support from Irish and British sports fans alike and it is greatly appreciated. Likewise I feel I have a great affinity with the American sports fans. I play most of my golf in the U.S. nowadays and I am incredibly proud to have won the U.S. Open and U.S. PGA Championship in the last two years.
Rory McIlroy
You know I need that cockiness, the self-belief, arrogance, swagger, whatever you want to call it, I need that on the golf course to bring the best out of myself. So you know once I leave the golf course, you know that all gets left there.
Rory McIlroy
I want to try to become the best golfer in the world.
Rory McIlroy
I'm sure there was an educational angle to the trips (I think one was to the Ulster Museum) but it was the fun and banter I had with my friends I remember the most.
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
As long as I keep enjoying my golf, then hopefully I'll be able to play well.
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.
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
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
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
How can I intimidate Tiger Woods? I mean, the guy's got 75 or whatever PGA Tour wins, 14 majors. He's been the biggest thing ever in our sport. How could some little 23-year-old from Northern Ireland with a few wins come up and intimidate him.
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
I kept telling myself this word, process. Focus on my process, don't care about the result.
Rory McIlroy
