As long as I can stay competitive and have fun doing what I'm doing, I guess I'll keep doing it.

I received many years of good advice from my father - how to live, how to play, how to be a gentleman.

I was playing golf in Palm Springs and after a round I asked the waitress in a restaurant to bring me a glass of iced tea and lemonade. A lady sitting nearby heard me and asked the waitress to bring her a "Palmer," too. The name caught on and the beverage quickly spread around the country.

The fans motivated me. They gave me the incentive to want to play and to want to win and to continue to play as my career progressed. They were never a distraction.

Sam Snead will fly anywhere in my plane with me. Sam's not as worried about the danger as he is about saving money.

I remember ones I lost [shot]. I remember the ones I won, but I remember the ones I lost, something that I will never forget. Did it ruin me or hurt my career? It taught me about life, how to take the bad with the good.

I love America. I wanted to play golf.
