I know how much I put in and it does hurt when people say you are not trying.
When you put your all in and people say 'he has given up,' that is hard to take.
I think I am a lot more entertaining than most of the other players.
When you're not sleeping, you're not thinking straight.
Even when I do miss easy balls I feel I can come back.
You don't want to get to 40, 45 and not have won the world title.
I take no positives from losing.
I started playing on a tiny table when I was 3 and then started playing properly when I was 10 or 11.
It's all about practice and more practice. Travel to tournaments, play in them, watch other players.
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.
I just want to enjoy myself and have fun.
I love the game.
People aren't allowed to be themselves in snooker.
The way I play will change things, there will be a lot more attacking snooker in the future.
If ever I am the underdog I seem to play well and whenever I am the favourite I put too much pressure on myself.
The crowd should be allowed to chant perhaps, or get some music playing.
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 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.
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.
Before I was going into tournaments and just hoping I would win one match. But now I'll go into tournaments expecting to do well and if I bring my best game I know I can win them and beat all the big players.
