“Every time you come to Glasgow, it is going to be tough because the crowd don't like me. When they are swearing at you and booing, it's hard.”

“You don't want 8,000 fans booing you so you want them on your side.”

“Darts is huge in the Philippines and Pacquiao is much bigger over there than David Beckham is here. I'm happy playing darts against him but I wouldn't want to box him.”

“When I won the first world title in 2011 I was practising six, seven or even more hours a day.”

“When I am playing my game, I fear nobody.”

“I've got respect for everybody I play but I don't fear anybody. Nobody causes me sleepless nights.”

“Success seems to go round in circles.”

“You have to put in the extra hours away from the tournament. There's no other option.”

“I've made mistakes but we all have to learn from time to time.”

“It's very special to be the first winner in New Zealand. Phil Taylor has always said to me about trying to be the first player to win when we go to a new country and I'm over the moon to do that in Auckland.”

“You can focus on the ranking events but I do miss the Premier League because it's massive.”

“There is always room for improvement even if you're getting 110 averages.”

“When I am not playing or practising, I like to spend time with the family.”

“Darts should definitely be in the Olympic Games. Can you tell me any difference between archery and darts or shooting and darts? It's a very similar concept and both of those are in the Olympic Games. And don't forget that darts is also a hugely popular sport.”

“The more money in the game, the more players will try anything to win.”

“I'm two times world champion, I've got nothing to prove to anybody.”

“I think the mixture of pressure and elation after winning the world title took some getting used to and that impacted on my personal life big-time.”

“One World Championship is not enough. Probably eight is not enough. I've set a target of 10 and I'd like between eight and 10.”

“The Matchplay is a straight knock-out tournament so everybody is under pressure straight away - I prefer that.”

“You go to a lot of cities they've got these great big footballer's houses. There's not many in Stoke-on-Trent.”
