Paul Newman is not a very good pool player.
I am trapped in snooker.
I love to play pool.
When I was 13, my parents bought me a mini snooker set for my birthday. From the moment I first held a cue in my hands, I was transfixed.
Tito Santana is like a cue-ball. The more you strike him, the more english you get out of him.
I like to play snooker, golf as well.
Pool, it became clear to me, is all about angles. First, there are simple angles, as you must hit the cue ball to either side when you are not straight on.
I just love playing snooker. Every single frame is different. Not one referee ever sets the balls up exactly the same.
I had such a great affection and love for playing snooker.
I love pool because it's a game of strategy, a game of the eye, and your whole universe is like this. I really want to become a pool shark.
I have always loved playing snooker.
I started out as a teenager I was a snooker player, or pool player. Through that I met some other teenagers that were gamblers, if you will, who started basement games. I was just sort of learning on the go, losing my $10.
At 24, my head was as shiny as a cue ball on a billiard table. I naturally thought this meant curtains. Actually, I found it helped. When I was too young to play real character parts, they mistook me for older because of the bald noggin. I got juicy roles right from the start.
The tip I would give is that once you play the shot, make sure your chin is touching the cue after you hit the cue ball.
