If I would have just selected the few tournaments to play at the end of the year or whatever, I probably wouldn't have had a very good chance of getting into the top 125.
Other than one putt, I made just about every putt that I should have made today,
I was in such a bad position probably a couple of months ago I just decided to start playing every week. I wanted to see if I could kind of get some sort of a feel for the game back.... I've started playing a little better.
Hollywood has always been a cage... a cage to catch our dreams.
I've played pretty solid this week. I've made a lot of putts and my short game's been pretty good,
After all, crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.
I wasn't there long enough to hear them say what they were.
I'm not that worried about the whole top 125 thing, but it certainly would be nice to finish strong and get up in there, ... I played so poorly at the start of the year. I'm playing better, just not putting well. It makes it kind of hard to compete.
I like when scoring conditions are good and the weather's good,

I decided I would rather, if I could, be in a position to pick the tournaments I wanted to play in,
And for whatever reason, I just don't putt like I used to. I think everything feeds off of that. You make some putts, all of a sudden, your swing starts feeling better.
There is a wilful lemming-like persistance in remaking past successes time after time. They can't make them as good as they are in our memories, but they go on doing them and each time it's a disaster. Why don't we remake some of our bad pictures - I'd love another shot at 'Roots of Heaven' - and make them good?
Marilyn was one step from oblivion when I directed her in The Asphalt Jungle. I remember she impressed me more off the screen than on…there was something touching and appealing about her.
