Adrian Lewis Quotes

My dad bought me a dartboard for my 11th birthday, and I became intrigued by the game.

I don't put faces on a dartboard. I just love the game, and I think I play it very well.

Darts is bad.

Too many people asking too many questions in tennis. Golf is better.

When I see some of the pitches which my father played on, I think that it must have been a different game.

They don't give you extra points if you make a 50-yarder that goes over the net.

He hits the ball a long way and he knows how to win.

Golf is the most useless outdoor game ever devised to waste the time and try the spirit of man.

I had an instinct before and maybe now I don't have that instinct as much as knowing what to do, what shots to hit, where to place the ball, things like that.

You've got to look and pick your shots - and that's where your class and skill comes out.

The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.

To me, it's just another game of football - 11 players, a grass pitch. Regardless what shirt I have on, it's important you win the game, and I'm competitive as anyone, and I want to win every game, whether it's a Sunday league game, a five-a-side tournament, or a World Cup qualifier.

With the cricket, I knew what I was doing - to a degree.

I like football. It's fun winning the ball from someone. It's fun shooting at goal. It's fun hitting a ball over 60 metres that arrives. It's like in golf: if you hit a ball, and it flies and flies and flies, you enjoy it.

Shooting the ball is a part of the game. Everybody can shoot in their own way. Not everybody can make. But everybody can shoot.

I would like to get some points across about my sport and hopefully people can understand it a bit more and appreciate what goes into it, instead of being monkey in a cage.

I learned to bat and bowl on different pitches and knew when to go hard and when to back off. It was just something I learned.

I'm a basketball fan, I'm a fan of greatness and I think anybody who knows anything about basketball knows great shooters.

I think I like the artistry of the game. I still get a lot of pleasure watching the good-quality teams play, where the movements of the players are coordinated. It's almost ballet-like, although 'ballet-like' is a bit of an exaggeration.

This is a game of misses. The guy who misses the best is going to win.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf.
