I am very happy since when I am in different cities I can experience and learn different cultures!

I think to be 'tough' means you look relaxed. So you have to be tough to win tournaments. But you don't want to be so tough on yourself.

You know golf is very lonely. When I'm in the States, I feel like if I just think about Taiwan, my friends, my fans, I won't feel like I'm alone.

I'm just so happy to see my friends and fans in Taiwan, 'cause that's where I'm from.

With Tiger Woods, you know everyone is watching. But I think interest in women's golf is getting better too.

People are trying to grab every part of you, so it's really hard to focus.

You need to take care of your time and practice, you need to rest and talk to media. So it's really important to organize those things.

It's hard to always be on top. You go down, you go up.

When I was 13 my dream was to play the U.S. Open. Now it's to win it.

I feel very peaceful.

I'm just going to have fun. Maybe that will be the most important thing to do.

It seems to me every one of us is doing something meaningful for this world.

I always believe that every one of us is working hard not only for our own performance but also to give something significant back to the societies we live in.

Sitting on the airplane seat today, I was thinking - I have been in different cities every week. Most of the time, it's because of golf tournaments. But occasionally, I also attend various events. All of a sudden, I feel like I am a business woman. Although sometimes I feel tired, I do enjoy this kind of life.

The very first tournament I watched is the U.S. Open when I was 13. And that was the year Juli Inkster won.

Walking down the red carpet, suddenly I felt very special and different. All the flashlights from cameras and requesting voices from the media, the scene, it was just like what I remembered seeing on TV or a movie when I was a little girl - the scene only when movie stars appeared.

I shall have a beautiful dream tonight. I also wish everyone to have a beautiful dream.

I feel I am very fortunate to have a job that I really like.

In golf, it's almost impossible to be perfect on each shot; that's the fun and challenge of golf.

Although I have won many times now, each time when I have a lead, I start to think about winning. It's very difficult not to think about winning. Every time, there are new challenges. Every time, there are new issues to overcome.

I'm very excited every time I'm at Augusta National. It's such a beautiful and fabulous golf course.

I am closer and closer to reaching my childhood dream. This is really exciting! I will continue to work hard, to focus on each tournament I play.

I love to show off my ability in a nice way.

You learn from your mistakes, and I think it's a good thing as long as you learn something.

I like to smile. I smile even when I'm nervous since it calms me down and shows my friendliness.

I will keep working hard!

My parents both played golf and introduced me to golf when I was 5 years old. They took me to the driving range and I played around at the range and immediately developed an interest in it.

I want to play for my country, play for everybody, and I want to be there. I just feel like I have so many feelings and I want to play in the Olympics and feel how special if I can win that tournament.

I have a fearless but neutral personality.

I am so honored to be named as one of Time's 100 most influential people.

When I was 7, my dad asked his friend to teach me. I played my first tournament competition when I was 8. I remember I shot around 125.

I feel like every word I say now, I can really inspire people.

Asian players train so hard. Most of the time, on Monday mornings, the only people you see on the range are Asians. I mean, only see Asians.

I hope one day I will host my own charity event to give back to society.

Most recently, I learned another hobby: baking. It's so much fun to mix all the ingredients and to see the cake come out nice. It's so rewarding when the cake comes out great and tastes great.

Not only am I constantly seeking better performance but also to be a better person, to be respected.

I want to improve my bunker, fairway and putting status because that's been my weakness over the last three years. If I can just focus on this, then everything else will come.

I love various sports, including basketball, tennis and billiards.

I just want to show the fans my big smile and play the game that I love.

We always learn more from the losing than the winning.

Golf is not easy.

You always learn something from mistakes.

You learn something when you don't play well, and I figure that helping people, it makes me very, very happy.

I want to be best golfer in the world. But I feel like golf is not everything in my life, but I want to keep doing it, keep working hard, do the best I can on the tour and give back to the tour.

It's very easy when you have someone in front of you that you can chase. You want to be No. 1 but now I feel like I have to play well because everybody looks at you as a best golfer. So that's why I put more pressure on myself.

As it becomes longer at No. 1, I feel more and more pressure. Everybody is trying to grab every piece of me.

When you play good, everything is good, but when you don't play so good, everything is bad. Even when you think there are good things, they still say bad things.

At that time, I feel sad, and I feel no one knows how hard I work and how many tears. They only know the score. At that time, I feel very lonely because no one understands since they haven't been world No. 1 before.

I started second-guessing myself and was always questioning myself. I have really learned a lot.

I have the picture in my mind of how emotional I will feel if I win again.
