Everything is firing on all cylinders for me.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I think there came a time - p...

I think there came a time - probably when I was about 13 - when I started to struggle with an increasing volume of schoolwork and the demands from my golfing schedule and aspirations. I'm not sure if the decision to leave school was very clear in my mind then but I did know that in the juggling between the two, my energies were most definitely in the golfing direction.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I'm afraid there are no repla...

I'm afraid there are no replays or second chances in amateur or professional golf, and that's the way it should be.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

Fitness plays such an importa...

Fitness plays such an important role in my life, and an integral part of my golf structure, that I think I might be quite good at teaching others the benefits of sport and fitness.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I wanted to make a point of ba...

I wanted to make a point of basing myself at home, being close to my family. I'll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they'll never have to work another day. I'll do whatever it takes to look after them.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

The fact is, I've always felt ...

The fact is, I've always felt more British than Irish. Maybe it was the way I was brought up, I don't know, but I have always felt more of a connection with the U.K. than with Ireland.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

As an international sportsman,...

As an international sportsman, I am very lucky to be supported by people all over the world, many of who treat me as one of their own, no matter what their nationality, or indeed mine. This is the way sport should be.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

Home will always be Northern I...

Home will always be Northern Ireland but my schedule means for the next few years I won't be there as much. I can't do the same things that I did a year ago. That is I'm something conscious of, but I'm not sad about it. It's fine.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

How can I intimidate Tiger Woo...

How can I intimidate Tiger Woods? I mean, the guy's got 75 or whatever PGA Tour wins, 14 majors. He's been the biggest thing ever in our sport. How could some little 23-year-old from Northern Ireland with a few wins come up and intimidate him.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I always got very excited about the Masters as a kid. I could hardly wait until the Wednesday when you'd get the BBC's preview. And I'd then be glued to the screen until Sunday night.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I mean I don't want to feel in...

I mean I don't want to feel inferior to any other golfer in the world. You know if you do that, then you know you're giving them an advantage, you know, right off the - you know, right from the start.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I realise that every time my f...

I realise that every time my face is on TV or I'm playing in a tournament, that I am a role model for a lot of people and a lot of kids do look up to me. I try to do my best in that regard and put myself across as honestly and as modestly as possible, as well.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I really enjoy playing 'Tiger ...

I really enjoy playing 'Tiger Woods' on the Wii, and you can set the levels to easy, medium, or hard, so I think it's definitely a good way for kids to learn the motion of a golf swing if they want to get into the sport. It makes it more fun for them as well.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I receive huge support from Ir...

I receive huge support from Irish and British sports fans alike and it is greatly appreciated. Likewise I feel I have a great affinity with the American sports fans. I play most of my golf in the U.S. nowadays and I am incredibly proud to have won the U.S. Open and U.S. PGA Championship in the last two years.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I used to not really like going to the gym when I was playing tournaments because I'd be sore and stiff. But the more you keep doing it, the less soreness you have. And you actually start to enjoy it.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

I've always said the players d...

I've always said the players don't build up rivalries themselves, people from the outside build up the rivalries. I just want to play good golf. I want to try and keep winning golf tournaments.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

If I'm playing in the morning,...

If I'm playing in the morning, I'll get some carbs early: porridge with chopped banana. If I'm playing in the afternoon, I'll start with less carbs and have some eggs and fruit for breakfast, then a light lunch about 90 minutes before I play, so I don't feel sluggish or full.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

If somebody asks me whether I'...

If somebody asks me whether I'd rather sink the winning putt in the Ryder Cup or win a major, it's the major every day. World championship or Ryder Cup? Win a world championship. At the end of the day you're going to be remembered for what you achieve in an individual sport.

I want to try to become the best golfer in the world.

Rory McIlroy 85 quotes

The next time I cry about golf...

The next time I cry about golf it will only be with joy. It's not worth crying over golf for any other reason. After all, it's only a game.
