People really seem to forget there's people in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia who are there for a year or whatever, ... In their hearts, they're there to protect the people of America and what we stand for.
We can't thank Dave enough. He could call me if my wife was about to have a baby and tell me he needed tonight for his show and I'd find some way to get her to let me head to New York.
I've known Tiger since he was 18. Tiger is a great guy. I am so happy for him right now.
We raised almost 2 million dollars at the last golf tournament that can be used for minority scholarships and Junior Golf programs. The payoff for the work we do is so much more valuable than the work we actually do for it.
We got to do a few things with President Clinton. To be invited to Washington again to play with Ashanti and all those other cool people there in front of President Bush and the rest of the world feels awesome. I'm really looking forward to going.

I work hard to let my wife know how much I love her. I try to do that every day.

We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.
