We don't have that many tournaments so sponsorship from logos is another way of helping boost your income.

Being a champion is a dream come true.

The Worlds was great, Masters was great, but that was sort of mission accomplished with the Triple Crown.

A long break can cause long-term damage to a player's technique. It can be dangerous for a snooker player to go 2-3 months without even touching a cue.

There's no specific reason for it, sometimes results just go against you and your opponents play too well.

Lifting a major trophy in front of an empty stadium would be a very strange feeling. But then you'd rather do that than not play at all.

When I was 16 I had a table at home in Melbourne and I hardly ever practised.

I've been watching Arnold Schwarzenegger. There's a couple of hour-long videos and he's made some amazing speeches. You look at what he's done in his career and it's such an inspiration with where he started. He's got these six rules of success which I listen to quite a lot and it really motivates me.

I think I'm a pretty calm kind of guy.

I have to motivate myself every season now to win things I've already won just to build my own legacy and try to end my career as high up as I possibly can.

If I get on a roll then I will steamroll people.

As long as your eyes aren't going, or you've got some back or neck problems, then you can play this game as long as you're motivated to practise.

I always knew I could win tournaments in the U.K. but there was a question mark over whether I could deal with playing in China.

I wouldn't say I would have won a lot more tournaments if it wasn't for video games but I think I would have given myself more opportunities to go further in other events.

If you're playing a shot and your peripheral vision picks up a player moving as you play the shot, if your vision goes from the object ball to what they're doing, you can miss the shot by several inches.

Maybe one day there will be a snooker pin-up calendar if we all get in shape. I would be up for that, get some spray tan going.

None of the top players like the 128 system at all.

I love the history of the sport and I want to keep keep building my history as a player with more records.

League of Legends' is banned in my house and rightly so. It is just awful. In the past, I've been staying up and playing it. Then all of a sudden, it is 6 A.M., the birds are tweeting and I'm thinking: 'Oh my God, I've got to get up in a couple of hours to take my son Alexander to school. Then I've got to practise.'

Being world No 1 would be fantastic but you'd like to do it by finishing the year as No 1 without anything happening off the table to someone else's ranking.

The more muscle I'm losing, the better I'm cueing.

We know how hard it is to travel around and if the schedules are really tight for you, it means you're doing really well because you're not going home early from many events. When you go deep in tournaments, that's the consequence you have to pay I suppose.

I have always tried to play the right way, and I honestly believe for the most part the etiquette in snooker is very good. So when there are breaches, and there are, it stands out.

It is greed or financial difficulty that makes people fix matches, not gaining an edge over rivals, so it is different from say Lance Armstrong or Ben Johnson.

There are a lot of players who fiddle around with their towel in your shot or they get up out of their chair to see if a ball's on when you're about to play your shot.
