I wanna have more majors than Jack Nicklaus.

I never had any alcohol on the golf course that I remember, except for one time, and that was the L.A. Open.

I'm the luckiest human being that ever walked.

I've tried to lose weight two or three times, and every time, my golf game was horrible.

I think people relate to me because of the ups and downs I have had. I mean, I've shared a lot of strong emotions in my life, that I think maybe 'cause they believe I'm not scared to tell everybody I'm a human being.

I wasted a lot of my talent in the '90s because the money was so big, and I was making so much money, I didn't care to practise as much. That is my only regret.

I guess you can say I always liked to take chances. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn't.

Coming down the 18th, your heart's pounding, and the hair is sticking straight up on your arms - there's no feeling like it.

Golf is my passion, and so is great barbecue.

Florida sends me a handicap sticker when I'm there. It's embarrassing. But I can't walk more than six holes before the whole knee swells up, and then I can't go anymore.

I was always the one asking everybody else if they were O.K. I never talked about my problems. I didn't want to admit I had problems. I just let 'em build up. I didn't want anybody to know I was hurtin'.

It's amazing what a little money can do when it's spent on the right reason.

The fans have always helped me get through good things and bad things on and off the golf course.

Everybody fights demons. Some are worse than others.

I learned through the 'Jack Nicklaus Lesson Tee,' the cartoon. Back then, it was 1970 or '69 when it came out. Learned the grip that way and everything in the cartoon... So that's kind of how it all started for me.

I'm an OCD neat freak. I can't stand messes. I make my bed every morning. Laundry. I do it all.

I've known Donald forever, and I know the bad things they say about Donald Trump is not true because I've known him as a friend for so long. I've seen what he's done for all types of people. I know how many people call him a racist and all this, and it just makes me sick because he's not.

I try to think of myself as a lion, bringing down the kill, controlling the jungle. A lion controls his jungle.

I'm a fighter. I'm a survivor, and I'll get through anything people can throw at me.

I've slowly made my body adapt and understand what's going to happen.

I can't tell you all my secrets to how I can eat so many. Someone out there might copy it. But I will tell you this: The night before the competition, I sleep only four hours. That means when I actually do eat, my stomach will want to digest the food quicker.

If there's something I like, I'm going to eat a little more of it than most people.

I don't mind losing because it really shows me what the other eaters are capable of.

I know I hold the contest record for downing the most hot dogs, and the record for most Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Contest championships, but it was really cool to be a part of a Guinness World Records official attempt.
