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 am the sort of player who can rattle off frame after frame when I am on a roll.
It is amazing to win an event but to do it with the best standard ever been known in a final is incredible.
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.
My self-belief has always been there but it is about managing it the right way.
People see the way I play and the balls I pot and then sometimes think 'how does he miss?'
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.
Older people like to dress older. I dress in more flamboyant, stylish.
I play a lot quicker, in quite an attacking style, play a few little crazy shots sometimes that other players wouldn't take.
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 would love to bring it up-to-date and get some more people interested in snooker.
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.
Will I be sensible and pay off the mortgage? Not a chance.
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.
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.
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.
Maybe I could be the playboy of snooker.
If there are groupies out there, bring 'em on, the more the merrier.
