Surfing is like golf: You're always battling, and it keeps knocking you down. There are a lot of wipeouts. But when you stay with it and catch that wave, you really taste it. It's magic.
Golf is meaningless, but it means so much.
I'd love to do a golf movie. I turned down Don Johnson's role in 'Tin Cup.' I regret that.
I found golf late in life, in 1990. I took some lessons and struggled. Then one day, I hit a drive that was so crisp and clean, with no vibration. There's no feeling like it. I was hooked.
I spent a weekend in the White House with President Clinton, back in '99, I guess. We played golf and just hung out and talked on many subjects. I saw him several times subsequently in L.A. He's the smartest man I ever met, a great politician. Everybody was star struck around him.
Going to the golf course every day for work? That's a good job.
I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.
