“I'm good enough to win multiple world titles.”
“Maybe one day there will be a snooker pin-up calendar if we all get in shape. I would be up for that, get some spray tan going.”
“As long as your eyes aren't going, or you've got some back or neck problems, then you can play this game as long as you're motivated to practise.”
“When I first came to England I hated football and knew nothing about it. Watching 0-0s and 1-0s having come from Aussie Rules was just dull. The only player I had heard of was David Beckham. But when I was living in Leicester I started watching Match of the Day and really got into Chelsea.”
“It is impossible to play the best of nines and expect the matches to finish on time.”
“When I was 16 I had a table at home in Melbourne and I hardly ever practised.”
“I almost wrote my career off. I wasn't quite good enough and I thought that ship had sailed. But I carried on, won the World Under-21 Championship in 2003 and got the tour card.”
“There are lot of tournaments and it's hard when you have a young family.”
“I just play my game. I know if I play well I will win.”
“I've been watching Arnold Schwarzenegger. There's a couple of hour-long videos and he's made some amazing speeches. You look at what he's done in his career and it's such an inspiration with where he started. He's got these six rules of success which I listen to quite a lot and it really motivates me.”
“It's very frustrating when you don't always get the right kind of rub - you watch tennis and know if you play better than the other guy, you win. But that's the game we play. It can create mini-upsets.”
“Snooker is a very good TV sport.”
“I absolutely love my cricket. I would watch it six, seven hours a day when Australia were playing. I grew up in a very spoilt era of Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Ricky Ponting and others.”
“The years I had the 100 centuries, I should probably have had around 120 because I got addicted like hell to 'Fifa 14.'”
“I used to feel very tired during tournaments. I was drinking four or five coffees per day and felt I needed more.”
“Becoming a dad has been a big change for me - I didn't have any responsibilities before. I obviously practised every day, but there was that luxury of things like watching movies when I wanted or waking up whenever I wanted.”
“If I get on a roll then I will steamroll people.”
“It is greed or financial difficulty that makes people fix matches, not gaining an edge over rivals, so it is different from say Lance Armstrong or Ben Johnson.”
“You look at the guys who are winning tournaments , Ronnie, Ding, Mark Selby, Marco Fu - none of them are overweight, they are the slimmer guys on tour.”
“It's good to be No1 but you'd like to do it the right way, not because of something that might have happened off the table.”
