I grew up admiring Phil Mickelson. He loves competing, and he loves the fans' support, similar to me. In terms of my playing style, Steve Stricker and I are similar.

As a kid, I wanted to be a pro tennis player. I was pretty good; at the tennis academies I attended, I always 'played up' against older age groups.

I used to turn my shoulders pretty level, which a lot of golfers think is correct. But that made my swing too shallow coming into impact, so my contact was picky, especially off the turf.

I'm always a competitor. I'm not there just to have a good time. I want to play well and perform well.

I found an instructor, Chris O'Connell, who helped me. He turned me into the player I am today - a consistent golfer.

I felt I could play in maybe a dozen tournaments a year as an amateur.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

Art never seems to make me peaceful or pure.

It's a mystery to me the way that contemporary art galleries function.

My art originates from hallucinations only I can see. I translate the hallucinations and obsessional images that plague me into sculptures and paintings.

My attitude is, if someone's going to criticize me, tell me to my face.

The thing about 'Bad Habits' was the album before that, 'Reckless,' was me going in with a total cocky attitude.
