Whatever your goal in life, be proud of every day that you are able to work in that direction.

I've had a lot of fear in my life, from fear of flying to fear of making a speech in front of a lot of people.

If you're a champion, you have to have it in your heart.

Single-mindedness. I hate to say it because I don't think it's the best thing for developing a person, but the single-mindedness - just concentrating in the one area - that's what it takes to be a champion.

My first U.S. Open I think was just very special for me because that was sort of the beginning of what was a 'Cinderella' story for me.

When I play, I'm boiling inside. I just try not to show it because it's a lack of composure, and if you give in to your emotions after one loss, you're liable to have three or four in a row.

If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that's a big accomplishment.
