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.
You are never going to get snooker on to the front pages because there is not enough money in the game here.
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.
I play my best stuff when I am a little under the radar.
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.
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 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.
It might be good to be taught the basics like your stance when you first start playing.
My Twitter account status used to say 'part-time playboy' on it, but I've taken that down now.
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.
I am trying to be a lot more careful - and to not miss easy balls.
It is very important not to try too hard because in the past I think I have done that.
Hopefully I get to the point where I get paid to party and can give up snooker.
I have always wanted to live my life as well as playing snooker.
It has sunk into my head that I want to be winning four or five tournaments a season.
I was getting sick of losing and watching other players winning all the titles on TV.
I've tried to be more mature and my mindset is a lot different now.
When people tip you, a lot put themselves under pressure but I use it as an advantage.
Being the favourite is a help.
I always go to the Masters knowing I'm going to play well.
