I need to have better knife skills... for vegetables.

I have my favourite black knife with me all the time. It's a switchblade. It relaxes me to flick it.

Right before I start the putter back, I think about making solid contact. This brings your attention to the back of the ball and helps keep your head still at impact, which is a must. Many amateurs take a peek down the line too soon, and that can cause all sorts of mis-hits.

It's almost embarrassing, but I do have one trick for taking portraits on commission. I carry one of these little bicycle horns in my pocket, and once in a while, when someone is sour-faced or stiff, I blow my horn. It sort of shatters the barriers. It's silly, but it works.

I've really got no complaints about the way I played, just extremely frustrating with the putter and I'm sure there's a lot of other players saying the same thing except the guy who's going to win the golf tournament.

I've learned over the years that it doesn't matter where you pitch in the rotation. For me, preparation is everything.

The best thing I have is the knife from Fatal Attraction. I hung it in my kitchen. It's my way of saying, Don't mess with me.

I've looked at photographs of myself during concerts and it sometimes looks as if I'm in a fencing move, with a guitar in my hands instead of a sword.

I grip very close to the butt of the racket. This allows me to get a lot of wrist action to create more spin and whip.

I use an Arnold Palmer putter that was probably built back in 1954.
