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.
— Judd Trump
The crowd should be allowed to chant perhaps, or get some music playing.
You are never going to get snooker on to the front pages because there is not enough money in the game here.
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.
I love the game.
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 started playing on a tiny table when I was 3 and then started playing properly when I was 10 or 11.
You don't want to get to 40, 45 and not have won the world title.
People see the way I play and the balls I pot and then sometimes think 'how does he miss?'
I know how much I put in and it does hurt when people say you are not trying.
When people tip you, a lot put themselves under pressure but I use it as an advantage.
It has sunk into my head that I want to be winning four or five tournaments a season.
My self-belief has always been there but it is about managing it the right way.
It is very important not to try too hard because in the past I think I have done that.
Will I be sensible and pay off the mortgage? Not a chance.
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.
Older people like to dress older. I dress in more flamboyant, stylish.
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.
If ever I am the underdog I seem to play well and whenever I am the favourite I put too much pressure on myself.
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.
I just want to enjoy myself and have fun.
It might be good to be taught the basics like your stance when you first start playing.
I take no positives from losing.
Even when I do miss easy balls I feel I can come back.
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 tried to be more mature and my mindset is a lot different now.
I have always wanted to live my life as well as playing snooker.
I would love to bring it up-to-date and get some more people interested in snooker.
I am trying to be a lot more careful - and to not miss easy balls.
If there are groupies out there, bring 'em on, the more the merrier.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The way I play will change things, there will be a lot more attacking snooker in the future.
People aren't allowed to be themselves in snooker.
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.
It's all about practice and more practice. Travel to tournaments, play in them, watch other players.
It is amazing to win an event but to do it with the best standard ever been known in a final is incredible.
When you're not sleeping, you're not thinking straight.
When you put your all in and people say 'he has given up,' that is hard to take.
Being the favourite is a help.
I was getting sick of losing and watching other players winning all the titles on TV.
Hopefully I get to the point where I get paid to party and can give up snooker.
I play my best stuff when I am a little under the radar.
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.
Maybe I could be the playboy of snooker.
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.
