What I went through in 1976, it's the same today: It's about all the pressure that you feel, the anxiety, the family, and everything that surrounds the Games, and then getting there knowing this is your big chance, and you're able to come through. It's such a satisfying thing.
Being the world's greatest athlete just does not get it done on the golf course.
My greatest gift in life was being dyslexic. It made me special. It made me different. If I had not been dyslexic, I wouldn't have needed sports.
My knee has always given me problems. But it got to the point where I actually had to start giving up things. And I hate that.
Sexuality is who you are personally attracted to... But gender identity is who you are in your soul.
There's nothing more, nothing better in life to wake up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and feel comfortable with yourself and who you are.
I spent 12 years of my life, the last six years training six to eight hours a day, every day of my life. At the time, when I was 20 to 26, I could do things like that, and you're not going to notice it.
I've been married to Kris for 21 years, and there have always been rocky times. And it's nothing special.

'Esquire Magazine' just gave me 'Father of the Year'. I'll put it right up there with my gold medal. I survived; that's why they gave it to me.
You don't go out and change your gender for a television show, O.K.? It ain't happening. I don't care who you are.
You still think we can go out there, and we can all run the mile in four minutes, you know, your mind still thinks that, but then you go out and actually try to do it, it's kind of scary.
Some people look gender non-conforming because they want to look that way - they don't want to conform to society's expectations.
