Mentally I must be lazy, like a little kid, but I always seem to do well when there's a tough situation.

The LPGA is basically corporate America's dinner party, and they can invite whomever they want. They're not ready for people getting up and making declarations. The bottom line is corporate America is pretty homophobic.

Why do we work so hard to feel so terrible?

I have lived the American dream in every aspect, and now I hope to make a very big impact in helping the planet.
