If what I say or what I do affects others who look up to me as a role model, that pleases me so much.

My expectations are incredibly high.

My job is what millions of people do for recreation. How can you not like that?

Nobody ever wants to have change, that's for sure. But when it's good, it's really good.

Practice, work out, proper nutrition, lots of work on my short game. In golf, that's really where the strokes come off the scorecard.

School is very important to my family.

Someone has to take the garbage out, someone has to cook the food, and someone has to clean the dishes. I want to do all of that.

There is so much I want to do in women's golf, and I'm living my dream.

When I first started playing golf, I was heavily into softball and basketball.

When I leave the country, I'm very, very cautious about what I eat and drink. No vegetables, no fruit.

Women in pro-ams are always telling me about all the business deals they've struck on the golf course playing with their male work colleagues.

An American champion, obviously being here in the states, is something that we all look at with the U.S. Open. But golf is played all over the world, and there are so many great golfers from other countries, and we're lucky enough that this is our home base to be able to play out of.

I don't really have a 'favorite' person to play with. I like to play with the player that is playing the best, but it doesn't always work out that way.

I learned that round four of a major is really not too much different than rounds one through three. I didn't keep to my game plan in the '08 U.S. Women's Open for the final round. That won't happen again!

I plan my golf outfits for the tournaments, I recycle some for the practice rounds, but I always have new ideas for my golf attire, and I like to dress nice after the rounds, so I have to bring all my heels. It's terrible. The worst part about being on tour is living out of a suitcase.

I think I do my own thing. I start my own trends. I see a lot of girls doing what I've been doing. Pink. Nobody wore pink, and now everybody wears it. It's flattering.

I wasn't enjoying golf much. I was kind of getting a little bit tired, I was getting a little bit moody, and I was constantly getting angry. That's not me. And when I saw that I knew I had to change.

I'm getting more and more comfortable out on the golf course with the changes I've been making. It's really just a confidence thing in that I love being in contention.

I've always - I grew up on the old-style traditional type of golf course, tree lined and all small greens, big undulations. And Oakmont just fit my eye.

My main goal is to be the No. 1 American and the No. 1 player in the world. If an American is on top of the leader board every week, it will bring more people into the game of golf.
