If you aren't already aware, those are the quotes of the world's best golfer, a three-time major champion and a player who has been winning at a rate on the PGA Tour that is similar to Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.
"There's a lot of people that make it to what they thought was going to fulfil them in life, and you get there, you get to number one in the world, and they're like what's the point? I really do believe that because what is the point? Why do I want to win this tournament so bad?" asked Scottie Scheffler.
"That's something that I wrestle with on a daily basis. It's like showing up at The Masters every year; it's like why do I want to win this golf tournament so badly? Why do I want to win The Open Championship so badly? I don't know.
"If I win, it's going to be awesome for two minutes. Then we're going to get to the next week, hey, you won two majors this year; how important is it for you to win the FedExCup playoffs? And we're back here again.
"We work so hard for such little moments. I'm kind of sicko; I love putting in the work. I love getting to practice. I love getting to live out my dreams. But at the end of the day, sometimes I just don't understand the point."
The American comes across as happy, and there's little to suggest that he may be struggling mentally. But Scheffler is a very religious and thoughtful man, and the way he spoke with such humility and poise raised several questions about the tragedy of ambition and being trapped in a world that expects so much of sportspeople, despite the simple fact that they are human.
“I’m blessed to be able to come out here and play golf, but if my golf ever started affecting my home life or it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or my son, that’s going to be the last day that I play out here for a living," said Scheffler.
As fans, we view athletes as separate entities who live in their own sporting bubble and don't have anything in common with us. They are just pixels we see on a television screen that we can just get rid of with a simple click of our remote controls.
But as Scheffler made clear, golf is great, yet his moments of success and the feeling he gets from it are fleeting. What truly fulfils him is his wife and child.
The recent tragic passing of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva is an example that sportspeople live in the same world as us, and life is so precious. Although they live more privileged than most, it is often the little things and the small enjoyments that connect us all.
Soon after Jota's death, we saw tennis star Amanda Anisimova lose 6-0, 6-0 in the Wimbledon final to Iga Swiatek, falling to a historically crushing defeat after freezing on the biggest of stages.
However, years prior, her father passed away, and she took a break from the sport to prioritise her mental health.
While we may struggle to believe it, they are just as human as us, and Anisimova should take great pride in the fact that she has found herself back at the very summit of a sport that can be so lonely and suffocating at times.
Another tennis star, Katie Boulter, revealed in June the scale of abuse she receives on social media after defeats.
'Hope you get cancer', 'grandmother's grave if she's not dead by tomorrow' and 'candles and a coffin for your entire family' were just a handful of utterly shameful comments she had been on the receiving end of following defeats.
Football fans were full of support for the friends and family of Jota, acknowledging the fragility of life. Yet weeks later, a handful of Arsenal supporters were signing petitions in an attempt to somehow block Noni Madueke's move to the club, starting a #NoToMadueke hashtag, as well as vandalising Arsenal graffiti with expletives and the phrase 'Arteta Out'.
Look, the majority of fans aren't getting involved with such sick and idiotic things like this, even though social media abuse has skyrocketed in the last few years. But in general, are we lacking sympathy and failing to conceptualise the fact that sportspeople are human like us?
We put athletes on such a high pedestal, and place so much importance on sport, which is a beautiful but ultimately a pointless pursuit in the grand scheme of things.
For Scheffler, he appreciates the beauty of it, but has made peace with the fact that he can walk away at any given time, accepting that there is more to life than golf.
For many, the thought of fading away is crushing. Are we partly responsible for the monster that has been created? The machine has been built for the consumers, and we enjoy seeing sportspeople trapped in it.
The football season just keeps getting longer and longer, the tennis tours are nonstop, and as Scheffler says, the PGA Tour keeps motoring on regardless of your successes or failures. And we, as fans, expect them to keep plodding on to entertain us.
Scheffler's remarkable and superb quotes have sparked discourse around the way players and fans should see sport.
The saddest part is, though, in truth, we will have all moved past what he said and normal service will be resumed in a few days.
All we care about now is who will lift that Claret Jug aloft on Sunday evening at the end of The Open, and which players our favourite team will sign.
But sometimes, perspective is needed. Maybe, just maybe, we should all take a second to stop and think about the way we view it all, even though it is surely easier said than done.
