Snooker's never going to be that. It's never going to be a worldwide game like tennis and golf. It's never going to happen.
— Judd Trump
All the tournaments I enter I want to win, but especially in one of the biggest arenas we play in.
Now I want to push on, I don't want to be remembered for just winning one world title, I want to go on and win as many big tournaments as possible.
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.
Why would people want to play snooker for #10,000 a year? Whereas with golf and tennis, even if you're in the top 300-400, you're earning half-a-million.
I am aware of the crowd, the need to get them motivated and involved.
I'm always practising because I enjoy it.
I really like my cars. The way I see it, if I work then I can treat myself to these presents.
Although it's a brilliant achievement, 100 centuries doesn't mean anything to me.
I want to be able to play fast and exciting snooker like my hero Ronnie O'Sullivan.
When the frame's safe, I like to let myself go a bit; play a few more entertaining shots rather than just getting the frame over and done with.
When you've practiced hard and know you've really worked for it it's more enjoyable.
The conditions are always slightly better back in the U.K. There's a lot of distractions when you play away in China and it's very easy to get on a bad run out there, with various things going on when you play.
I've got to be aware of what's going on. I can't drink too much or make a fool of myself.
It would be nice to say I won seven world titles, yet I want a good life as well while I play.
I should have won more. Definitely. If I practised like Mark Selby I might have done twice as many.
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.
If you're at the top of the game, you're earning money. But compared to other sports, like tennis, you're earning peanuts.
You don't want to let your form slip because it can be hard to get back from that.
I want to really prove that I'm up there with the best players in the world.
I always go for centuries at the end of frames because it gives the fans a chance to celebrate.
I'd say I'm quite well behaved! It's just the way I've been brought up, really.
I play a lot quicker, in quite an attacking style, play a few little crazy shots sometimes that other players wouldn't take.
I feel I work as hard, if not harder, than anyone.
Barry Hearn has said there's no time for playboys, but I'm not a playboy.
Obviously you'd always be happy to have another tour on the side, earning extra money, but for most of the players I think we're all pretty happy.
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.
Everyone's just looking at you. They're expecting you to win every game, and it's just not possible.
The only time I won't be playing is when I've got a hangover.
Every tournament I play in I fancy my chances of winning, so hopefully I can get through the first few rounds, find a bit of form and kick on.
I really want the chance to thank my parents for what they have done, because without their support, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Obviously I want to win all the big tournaments - I would hate to look back and not have won them. I also think, for me, there's something about reaching a certain level rather than getting a certain number of wins.
People were saying on social media, 'He's going out too much' - I got judged. That was demoralising.
I am the sort of player who can rattle off frame after frame when I am on a roll.
It is just nice to be able to tick off all of the events I've won and hopefully one day be able to complete them all.
Goals? I've achieved the main ones of winning the World Championship and being world number one.
I think being world number one and world champion, pressure comes with that.
When there are four or five tables going on it is hard to keep your concentration.
I try and put on a show for the crowd and make sure they enjoy it.
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.
Anyone thinking me treating myself affects my snooker doesn't know what they're talking about.
My Twitter account status used to say 'part-time playboy' on it, but I've taken that down now.
Obviously my parents have been a massive influence on me my whole career, taking me around everywhere and putting me in this position.
I don't really think about missing. Whereas a lot of the other players are scared to miss, I think that if I pot it I'll be in with a chance of winning the frame.
Nobody can really dominate like Stephen Hendry or Steve Davis. The players are just too good for that.
I do like a night out every now and again, I like to let my hair down.
The crowd lifts you and spurs you on. And I don't get rattled - that's my strength, I think.
I do everything right-handed - football, tennis, darts and golf - except for snooker.
My aim is to win as many tournaments as I play in but some people absolutely love 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.
