We kind of deny the stages of life.
I don't really remember, but from about the age of five I told anyone who would listen that I was going to be the best golfer in the world.
I kept telling myself this word, process. Focus on my process, don't care about the result.
You know I need that cockiness, the self-belief, arrogance, swagger, whatever you want to call it, I need that on the golf course to bring the best out of myself. So you know once I leave the golf course, you know that all gets left there.
The next time I cry about golf it will only be with joy. It's not worth crying over golf for any other reason. After all, it's only a game.
I've come across enough successful people now to know that the best in whatever walk of life, they're the ones who just work the hardest. I realized that if I want to be the best and fulfill my potential, I'm going to have to do the same thing. And for those who are lucky enough to be born with a gift and then choose to work the hardest-I mean, that's the combination.
With success comes expectation and I know the expectation on me is going to be pretty high.
At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.
Part of me likes words as music sabotage, and part of me wonders why anyone would waste their time liking anything to do with sabotage.

The world has plenty of room, riches, money and beauty. . . Let us begin by dividing it more fairly.
