I do everything right-handed - football, tennis, darts and golf - except for snooker.

There is one nickname that my mate wants me to have... it's The Ace. I'm happy for a campaign for people to start calling me that!
I visited a couple of schools where snooker is on the curriculum. They go in everyday and play snooker. In the future, all the top players will be coming from Asia and the Far East.
I got into pool tournaments when I was five, playing every weekend in competitions. Then one day I started playing snooker. I learnt by practising on my own, repeating the same shots again and again, and watching other players and copying what they did.
My aim is to win as many tournaments as I play in but some people absolutely love snooker.
You have to forget what has gone before, get on with the game and focus on that. You cannot afford to be affected and let things worry you.
Snooker has taken such a step down I am not sure it will recover unless five Ronnie O'Sullivans come along at the same time.
If you hit the table after missing a ball, you get fined. If you swear, you get fined. You can't even tweet what you're thinking without getting fined. Players can't show their personality and therefore fans can't relate to them.
It is amazing to win an event but to do it with the best standard ever been known in a final is incredible.
I don't particularly want to be playing in front of five people again. The reason I practised so hard was to get out of that.
When people are sat quietly for 20-25 minutes per frame, they should be allowed to let their hair down at the end of it.
When you've practiced hard and know you've really worked for it it's more enjoyable.
I was getting sick of losing and watching other players winning all the titles on TV.
I know how much I put in and it does hurt when people say you are not trying.
Maybe I could be the playboy of snooker.
When you put your all in and people say 'he has given up,' that is hard to take.
Before I was going into tournaments and just hoping I would win one match. But now I'll go into tournaments expecting to do well and if I bring my best game I know I can win them and beat all the big players.
I want to be able to play fast and exciting snooker like my hero Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Hopefully I get to the point where I get paid to party and can give up snooker.
Goals? I've achieved the main ones of winning the World Championship and being world number one.
I think I am a lot more entertaining than most of the other players.
I always go to the Masters knowing I'm going to play well.
I've just got the mindset of really wanting to open the game up to new people. I kind of want to create a massive attention around snooker.
I am trying to be a lot more careful - and to not miss easy balls.
Barry Hearn has said there's no time for playboys, but I'm not a playboy.
I've got to be aware of what's going on. I can't drink too much or make a fool of myself.
Some shots people won't think are right but I want to give the crowd a good show and get new people into the sport.
I really like my cars. The way I see it, if I work then I can treat myself to these presents.
Older people like to dress older. I dress in more flamboyant, stylish.
People see the way I play and the balls I pot and then sometimes think 'how does he miss?'
The crowd lifts you and spurs you on. And I don't get rattled - that's my strength, I think.
My self-belief has always been there but it is about managing it the right way.
I don't feel people are that interested in snooker any more and the only thing that will get snooker back into the limelight is more controversy.
It might be good to be taught the basics like your stance when you first start playing.
Will I be sensible and pay off the mortgage? Not a chance.
I play a lot quicker, in quite an attacking style, play a few little crazy shots sometimes that other players wouldn't take.
I am the sort of player who can rattle off frame after frame when I am on a roll.
My Twitter account status used to say 'part-time playboy' on it, but I've taken that down now.
Joe Perry is always a big hurdle, he's always there in the later stages of a tournament. You have to be playing well to beat him, and if you do that you know you have a chance of winning the title.
From a young age, people have been touting me as a future world champion and it's nice to get that out of the way.
I used to be quite laid back and that. But obviously the more you're in the public eye, the more you've got to... dress to impress.
You are never going to get snooker on to the front pages because there is not enough money in the game here.
I play my best stuff when I am a little under the radar.
From a very young age people have been touting me as a world champion. So it can be tough, playing in the spotlight and people expecting big things from you all the time.
Other people try and tweak their techniques and that, but I've just been exactly the same all my life, and I'd never change anything.
If there are groupies out there, bring 'em on, the more the merrier.
I've watched the Masters on TV since I was young, I remember watching Jimmy White and a few others, so I can't wait to play there myself.
I would love to bring it up-to-date and get some more people interested in snooker.
My eyesight had always been good but at school I went swimming one day and the chlorine affected me badly. I was almost blinded for two weeks and from there things deteriorated. Then at the World Championship in 2007 I realised I couldn't see the back of the pocket. It was one big blur. My first two seasons as a pro it was dreadful.
It is very important not to try too hard because in the past I think I have done that.
