If you can't laugh at yourself, then how can you laugh at anybody else? I think people see the human side of you when you do that.

I don't read magazines much, and I have an awful time with books.

I went over before the British Open and played Valderrama thinking that I might make the team, might be a captain's pick. I made the effort to go over there.

If somebody asks for my opinion, I tell them my opinion, whether it's what they want to hear or not.

For one thing, when you're playing as well as I was at the time, you think you can play with anything. That isn't true, of course, but I didn't know it then.

Invariably something happens at a U.S. Open where the golf course gets out of control one day, they have one pin that's out of control. It always seems to happen. But they've gotten better about the height of the rough.

I'm 42 now, what I would consider prime time.
