Sergio Garcia quotes:

Whether it's golf or writing, you have friends, and then you have 'friends' friends. Friends who are like family. I can count my close friends on two hands, which is good, I think. That's a lot. Some are at home in Spain, others are elsewhere, and some are in golf.

I love movies, of course. 'Terminator 3' and 'Bad Boys II' - lots of action. Sports movies, action movies, comedies - I'll go to those, but not 'las de amor.' Not romance. It's not that I don't like love, but on the screen it bores me.

I am what I am. I love golf, I love my life, I love my family and friends.

Copy my favorite moves and my Tour-proven setup positions, and you'll start catching it on the sweet spot every time, with every club in your bag.

When I'm playing my best and find myself in contention late on Sundays, it's usually when I'm not thinking about my swing, but rather trusting my setup and smoothly pulling the trigger. I won't completely rely on feel - I like to keep a few images in the back of my mind to make sure that I get the most out of my driver, irons and wedges.

It's nice to have other hobbies, other than golf. I've played football, I play tennis. I enjoy doing things other than golf, and poker is one of them.

I've always felt I should do things 100 percent or not do them. It's all or nothing. That's what makes me a good athlete - doing things with all the 'ganas' I can.

In 13 years I've come to the conclusion that I need to play for second or third place.

The Spanish press started calling me Â?El Nino' when I was very small. Now, I have grown a little. The problem is, when I'm 30 years old, we'll have to come up with another one.

I'd like to have longer hair, but mine just doesn't grow.

To concentrate intensely for 4 and a half hours, that's too hard for me. Too tiring. I concentrate 'lo maximo' on the 'golpe,' the stroke, but between strokes I'm interacting with the crowd or laughing with my caddie, talking about the spectators, the cute girls.

Your woods, irons and wedges are built with specific lengths and lie angles, which demand that you stand to the ball a little differently for each one. The secret is to know which elements of your address position remain constant, and which ones you have to tweak to match the club in your hand.

I don't apologize for my clothes. There are a lot of bad dressers in golf, and I don't think I'm one of them. There are a lot of bad dressers in every business.

At the end of the day, the only thing I can do is keep working on it, keep giving myself chances, and it's going to happen.

Concentrating for four hours will wear you out mentally.

I always think under par. You have to believe in yourself.

The most important thing is not that my short game looks good, but that it feels good, because at the end of the day, what you need is to feel it, and I'm starting to feel it.

I am competitive, and I like to be as competitive as possible in anything I do.

I definitely don't consider myself a kid anymore. I feel like an old man, an old 28-year-old.

Be who you really are.

I do things with a lot of feeling.

I have to believe in myself. I know what I can do, what I can achieve.

I like playing with a good crowd.

If you worry about making bogeys, it makes the game that much more difficult. You put more pressure on yourself without even noticing it. It makes a difference to take it easy when things aren't going right.

I've been fortunate enough to do pretty well in playoffs. I feel pretty comfortable in them.

I've heard people say my swing's not perfect, and I know that. But golf's a natural sport, very sensitive. It's played a lot by feel. I don't care if my swing is too flat. If it works, I don't have to change it.

There have been times when you doubt yourself. You don't know if you're working on the right things.
