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 guess I decided I wasn't ready to give up on the game yet. So I just decided the best way to go about getting myself back into a better position would be to just start playing every week.
It's not color, it's like pouring 40 tablespoons of sugar water over a roast.
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.
I like when scoring conditions are good and the weather's good. I think you just kind of tee off and see what the course gives you, hopefully take advantage of it.

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.
It was really no big deal then, and still isn't to me. I think the whole problem with it is they made a really big deal of it after I left. To me, it was already done. I was at home. I don't really even remember it.
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.
She went right down into her own personal experience for everything, reached down and pulled something out of herself that was unique and extraordinary. She had no techniques. It was all the truth, it was only Marilyn. But it was Marilyn, plus. She found things, found things about womankind in herself.
