I was raised by two women, and that laid the groundwork for the way I treat 'em: with the utmost respect and admiration.

Nothing is like being out there and playing and performing and winning - nothing. But to have an interest in the player? The nerves and everything that goes with it? Seeing what he's learned and how he's done it? That's the second best thing to playing. I think.

I like any title with the letters U.S. in front of it. To me, the U.S. Open is the most important tournament in the world.

Experience is a great advantage. The problem is that when you get the experience, you're too damned old to do anything about it.

Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get back on track as soon as possible.

The trouble with experience is that by the time you have it you are too old to take advantage of it.

Nothing's perfect along the way [in life], and you ride the ups and downs. It's how you come out of those and continue on that I guess really matters.
