Famous quotes by Michelle Wie:

"You have to make lots of birdies and give your opponent no chance."
"I'm very relieved I got through today, ... It was really tough out there. It felt good after I made that putt. I have a lot more days to go, so hopefully I can keep that trend going."
"Obviously, I'm disappointed, but it's not the end of the world,"
"I'm kind of in between a goody-goody and a rebel. I'm not bad, but I'm not good either. I'm a little crazy."
"I don't like boys. They're kind of annoying."
"I don't like going to the mall. I'm not really like the other girls. I just like to go out on the golf course and play. Golf is fun and feels really good."
"I don't really care what they think because I actually qualified for this event. So I feel I belong here. I'm not looking for 100 percent support. I know there are going to be people against me. I'm not going to stop just for them."
"He played amazing with those four birdies on the first five holes, ... He played awesome today. There was really no room for error."
"I was really sad to lose in the quarters. But it wasn't like I played horrible the last day. I learn so much playing with men. I just pick small things up subconsciously."
"I've just been so close all year long. So close to it. I just have to get over that last big step to win. It's hard."
"I have played in rain before. I have played in wind before. I have played in cold before, but not all put together. They were the hardest conditions I ever played in."

Nicety

by: Michelle

[Intro: x6]
Nice and... [James Brown:] ("Nasty! ")
(Ho!) ("HEY! ")
("Make it sound good") ("HEY! ")
[Verse 1: Michel'le (Dr. Dre)]
You know I can never do
Things that, you want me to
The way I appear to you
May not be true to you
So don't get your hopes too high
And don't be like other guys (Yeah, baby I'm a get you)
Assuming that every girl is just like that type
(Oh, is that right?)
Mennn...
(Hey baby, what's your name?)
Runnin' the same ol' sayin'
(Excuse me, honey, but is your husband married?)
[talking:] No more questions, no more games
[Chorus:]
Some people think I'm nice
Some people think I'm nasty
But if you really want to know
Just ask meeeeeee...
And I'll say I'm nicety
Hooooo-hoooo-hoooo, say I'm nicety
[interlude: x2]
Nice and... ("nasty") ("HEY! ")
[Verse 2: Michel'le (Dr. Dre)]
You said you would treat me right
And I'd never be alone
[talking:] But men'll say anything
Just to try to take you home (Yeah, I know that's right)
But don't get your hopes too high
'Cause I've got to keep it tight
And that's the way it will stay
Until I feel it's right (Oh, is that right?)
Mennn...
(Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?)
Runnin the same ol' sayin
(Yo, you comin over? I PROMISE I won't try anything)
[talking:] No more questions, no more games
[Chorus]
Nicetyyyyyy...
It's got to be nicety
Hooooo-hoooo-hoooo, say I'm nicety
Nicety-eeeeee...
You can call me nicety
Some people think I'm nice
Some people think I'm nasty
But if you really want to know
Just ask MEEEEEEEE...
And I'll say I'm -
[Dr. Dre:]
Nicety, or whatever you wanna call it
Ask my opinion and I think that all it is
Is just an excuse to givin the boots
For dollar and cents, and remain innocent
Dre with the Ruthless Attack, check it
'Cause all that you talkin about ain't Jack!
Step off of that, try a new approach
You get smoked because I ain't no joke
Yeah, yeah...
[interlude: x2]
Nice and... ("nasty") ("HEY! ")
You can call me nicety
Just say I'm nicety
You can call me nicety
Nicetyyyyy...
Just call me nicety
Hoooooo-hooooooo-hoooo, just call me nicety
