As you get older, things conk out. It's a bit like a car. As long as it's something the mechanics can fix, you can chug on for a few more thousand miles.

I've got a great life. It's a shame the work gets in the way of the golf, really.

There are no gentlemen in anything competitive - you want to win.

I come from a broken home. My parents split up when I was nine. Everyone gave me a good wallop. But I come from a time when you just put up with that, you got on with things rather than sitting moaning about them.

The truth is, I've been lucky. But just like the waltz, life has its own rhythm of rise and fall.

You got to risk it if you want the biscuit.
