I am very proud of what I have done since I turned professional. It's been great to become the first teenager to win three times, to have played in some Majors and the Masters, and to have twice broken into the world's top 50 and stayed there for a bit of time.

I went to UCLA as pre-med. When I was there my freshman year, I auditioned for a play and got it, and I was so passionate. I just loved acting so much that I decided to switch majors and pursue acting.

My biggest dream is to win four Majors in a year.

Through my whole career, that's been a major thing - bringing my family with me.

I never got caught up in playing for history, seeing how many majors I could win, or rewriting the record books. Those are selfish objectives, and the guy who chokes usually does so because he dwells on what it all means to him. I was only worried about my family. And although I had my share of failures, it was never because I choked.

My major allegiance has been to storytelling, not to history.

The Quartets have been a major part of my work.

Tiger Woods did not always win majors with ease; after his narrow victory in the 1999 PGA, he slumped and sighed as if he'd been carrying rocks uphill all afternoon.

Where I teach students in drama school, there's a course called Dramatics. In this course, all students must put on a play. However, acting majors are not supposed to act. They can write the play, for example, and the writers may work on stage art. Likewise, stage art majors may become actors, and in this way you put on a show.

It's almost required with major artists that there's some duality. And I've got duality everywhere.

Having a soft major is nowhere near the career death sentence that so many make it out to be. The world is changing, and the U.S. economy with it. Our economy is shifting to a service- and information-based economy, and soft majors are already becoming more and more valuable.

I know being on a major label is meant to be antiquated, but we're fine with it.

As far as being on a major label, some labels get it and get what they have to do, and some labels don't. I don't think the label I'm on necessarily gets it, but I think over time they're gonna have to.

The only thing major labels can really offer is money.

Nearly all of the majors have really been pretty merciless with their partners.

I'd love to be here, in whatever role they think I can help. I knew when Gil got healthy, my job would change. If he hadn't gone on the disabled list, I might never have stayed in the majors the last month.

I'd like to have students graduating from high school with a sense of what they want to do in post-secondary education. We need to think about at our level what majors and minors we want to provide (if the bill passes).

Ground control to Major Tom.

Given limits on the size of departments, and as we try to have some diversity in terms of research specialties, it means that having one person depart can leave a real gap, ... If we lose those three people, yes, there will be a shortfall, but it's not like there's no one here for majors to work with. But when you find a professor's work inspiring and then suddenly that person's going, it's not really satisfying to be told there are plenty of faculty left.

I feel like I just played four majors in a row. We all love to have to go low to win. It's nice to make some birdies. It gives you confidence.

Cellar Roots is not just for art and writing majors at EMU. Any EMU student can contribute. There is a common misperception that has perpetuated over time that you must be an art or writing major, but this is not true.

China is a huge market and the majors don't sell that many units there. Someone has to be filling that demand.

Because we have such a big department these days - there are about 300 majors - there are frequently students who find themselves in that situation. That's when the students really have to get creative.

We're open to other people's advice. But I never want to be in a situation where someone else is telling us what to play -- unless it's someone we trust. But you know, we're not anti-label, we're not pro. We don't prefer majors to indies. Someone will eventually take us home or, if not, we'll do it ourselves.

He's a very, very talented young man. As he has shown in the Majors he is well deserving and wise beyond his years, pitching wise.

There is no coaching in the minors or the majors that compares to the kind of coaching we got here in terms of individual attention. He makes you into a man. He does everything that is needed to get you ready for the next level.

He makes me feel more comfortable on the mound than any other catcher ever has. For a guy who hasn't been in the majors very long, he's very knowledgeable. There was a game late last year when I was struggling. He told me in the dugout, 'Just forget about the mechanics, just go out there and compete.' Now, I'm a guy who's always thinking about mechanics, but that rang true for me that day. He knows how to handle pitchers.

I saw where Phil hit it on the last hole and if there was anybody in the world you'd back to get up-and-down from there, it would be Phil Mickelson. I didn't think there was much hope when I saw where he was. He's not a one-major guy, he's a 10-major guy. He deserves greatness. He's going to go on now and contend for majors as he's always done but now it's going to be easier and easier to win them.

I think a lot of the majors are going to start doing it.

It is becoming one of the toughest majors now. Where it used to be kind of the most fun of all the majors, it's becoming the hardest now.

I think it's just all experience. I'm starting to get a few majors under my belt and I know what to expect.

The annual auction is the only fundraiser we have. Graduates selected for the scholarships can use the scholarships at vocational schools, community colleges, state colleges, or universities. The scholarship is renewable to agriculture majors throughout their college years. Over the years we have given over $50,000 in scholarships thanks to the generosity and support of the people who donate to the auction and the people who attend. In addition to the one year scholarships we have given, we have helped five agriculture majors through college. The bottom line is all about helping the kids.

There is still plenty of good music to be written in C major.

I know this is a major cultural artifact but it's bad for the community.

Wow. For retirees on fixed incomes, that's where the people in that demographic are going to play. They have no other alternative. They're not going to go to Duran and pay $90 per round. They're not going to play at The Majors and pay $55, $60 a round.

When you are 20, 40 looks really old. When I was nearing 30, that seemed like a major milestone.

There is really one city for everyone just as there is one major love.

What we are seeing is that, in the specialized nature of information economy, a college degree is increasingly important for employers. What's interesting is that even liberal arts majors are finding significant opportunities, since those are the folks who are best at critical thinking skills. They can adapt to any number of professions.

I've been one of those lucky people to have been involved with history for my whole career, ... Not many history majors get to do that.

The worst-case scenario is they get into a field they really aren't happy with. We want to make sure their majors are going to lead to a career they'd like to have. That's what education is all about.

You are not going to get many math and science majors who are going to opt for teaching careers when they can make three times as much just walking in the door at an aerospace company.

The Player of the Year means a lot because it's from your peers. That is like the ultimate compliment. The money list doesn't really interest me that much only because if you play more, you have a better chance of making more money and I don't play that many events. I'm concentrating on the bigger events. If I can win more events than anyone in a year and more majors than anyone in a year, it's going to be a great year.

There would have to be a structural shift in prices to change their perspective, ... Right now, there's a lot of speculation built into oil prices -- the majors will have to see that turn into fundamentals in order to change their plans.

You don't know. I mean, guys have come back from 10 back before in majors and have won. I don't know. It all depends on what Phil (Mickelson), and as I said Jerry (Kelly) and the rest of the guys before him, if they shoot 64 or 65 or 66. Then, you know it's pretty far out of reach unless I shoot a low one and they come back tomorrow.

There is something for everybody and everyone does well in at least one aspect of the class. My business majors do well in the economic portion, my political science majors do well in the politics portion. I'm basically here to be the guide.

Branch Rickey signed Jackie Robinson in 1945 and he went to the minor leagues and then to Montreal in 1946 before being called up to the majors with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. That one move still has a huge impact on baseball almost 60 years later.

Randy loved basketball, but he knew he wasn't going to start ahead of Steve. And when Randy became an All-Star in the majors (2002), Steve was an All-Star with the Mavericks the same year. I'm proud of both of them.

Coach Battle was more to himself, not quite as vocal, very methodical and businesslike. Coach Majors was real vocal, with a lot of energy.

I've never been pigeonholed and I've experienced so many different kinds of skin - what man will do and won't do, what you should do and shouldn't do. This is what's exciting about being an actor; where philosophy majors sit in classrooms or write books about human behavior, we're actually acting them out in front of cameras.

Zach Majors is hard to contain and our goal was to stop everyone else and I think we did a great job of doing that.

That's why our students are so versatile. Those are the same skills that you'll need as a business executive, architect, librarian or social worker. There are not many jobs that require skills that psychology majors don't have.

Ernie is as tough as can be, and I think his performance in the last two majors left him highly motivated. I wouldn't be surprised if he won at St. Andrews.

The PGA Championship, last of the majors each year, might well be accustomed to having fun poked at it by the print press for being mired in August, but this isn't fair.

To be able to hold all four majors - the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, PGA - all concurrently I think is the Grand Slam. But a lot of people have a different opinions on that. People think you have to win it in the same calendar year.

With over two thirds of all wagers placed on Woods winning at least three majors this year, it's clear that bettors don't put anything out of Tiger's reach. Although he'll certainly be a clear favorite in each leg of the Grand Slam, both history and the odds are against Tiger Woods achieving golf immortality by capturing all four majors this year for a Tiger Slam.

This year the majors are the most important things to me.

The U.S. won the majors 29-11 in the 1980s. That's when Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus were carrying the ball, and when Seve Ballesteros was becoming a Brit in the minds of English and Scottish journalists.

This is a pretty good game and a pretty swell way to make a living. The conditions in the majors are fine and the money is good.

I've done this before. I have won three majors in one year, ... And I guess from some of the guys I have talked to in the media this week, the novelty factor is not there any more. You have already done it.

I guarantee you that the players think it's a major. Majors are a matter of perception.

I have played in the other three Majors but I've always wanted to play in the Masters.

I'm really excited for the program to start because it allows history majors to go into a professional field other than education.

The biggest adjustment is the lifestyle and the travel. It's not what we're used to or what you expect at the major-league level. Especially for a manager who was in the minor leagues for a long time. To make it to the majors and have to go back to the minors, it's probably a little emotionally upsetting.

I try to have the attitude that I belong there. Some of those guys have won majors and some are multiple tour winners so their track record speaks for themselves. What they did in the past-regardless of what they did yesterday or last year- they still have to perform all over again next week.
