I love various sports, including basketball, tennis and billiards.

When I was 7, my dad asked his friend to teach me. I played my first tournament competition when I was 8. I remember I shot around 125.

My parents both played golf and introduced me to golf when I was 5 years old. They took me to the driving range and I played around at the range and immediately developed an interest in it.

Sitting on the airplane seat today, I was thinking - I have been in different cities every week. Most of the time, it's because of golf tournaments. But occasionally, I also attend various events. All of a sudden, I feel like I am a business woman. Although sometimes I feel tired, I do enjoy this kind of life.

I feel very peaceful.

You need to take care of your time and practice, you need to rest and talk to media. So it's really important to organize those things.

I'm still number one, so don't forget about that. So I still can have a happy ending.

You learn something when you don't play well, and I figure that helping people, it makes me very, very happy.

I want to play for my country, play for everybody, and I want to be there. I just feel like I have so many feelings and I want to play in the Olympics and feel how special if I can win that tournament.

We always learn more from the losing than the winning.

I am closer and closer to reaching my childhood dream. This is really exciting! I will continue to work hard, to focus on each tournament I play.

Golf is not easy.

Not only am I constantly seeking better performance but also to be a better person, to be respected.

You always learn something from mistakes.

Most recently, I learned another hobby: baking. It's so much fun to mix all the ingredients and to see the cake come out nice. It's so rewarding when the cake comes out great and tastes great.

I think to be 'tough' means you look relaxed. So you have to be tough to win tournaments. But you don't want to be so tough on yourself.

I'm just so happy to see my friends and fans in Taiwan, 'cause that's where I'm from.

I started second-guessing myself and was always questioning myself. I have really learned a lot.

You learn from your mistakes, and I think it's a good thing as long as you learn something.

I want to be best golfer in the world. But I feel like golf is not everything in my life, but I want to keep doing it, keep working hard, do the best I can on the tour and give back to the tour.
