Alex Higgins was my hero, so to play in Belfast, at the superb Waterfront Hall, is very special to me.
Quote by -Jimmy White
Northern Ireland as a whole is a great snooker country because of Alex Higgins and Dennis Taylor and now of course there is Mark Allen. It's a hotbed of snooker and a place where our sport is always well supported.
Quote by -Jimmy White
I've always been one of the best players with the rest but I'd rather be able to reach the shot without it.
Quote by -Jimmy White
If you're playing the best of 19, and it's 7-7 and there's only five frames left, you tend to take a few more chances.
Quote by -Jimmy White
In the past I'd lose and not talk for a few days. I'd become strange. Difficult to live with.

Testicular cancer occurs in young men, just the people who don't bother much about their health.
Quote by -Jimmy White
I have only prepared properly for the World Championship three or four times in my life. If I had gone about it professionally I would have won the title 10 times.
Quote by -Jimmy White
Within a day of wearing the insoles, my feet felt more comfortable, and a week later I was able to go for walks, play golf, and play football with my son, which I hadn't for years. The insole is sculpted to the foot and manipulates it into the correct position, preventing damage to the plantar fascia tissue.
Quote by -Jimmy White
If I ever leave home without my insoles, I send someone for them because after a day the pain starts to return.
Quote by -Jimmy White
If Ding keeps performing the way he has been doing then it is inevitable the World Championship will go to his country.
Quote by -Jimmy White
Ding has a fantastic all-round game. His temperament is also at a very high level.
Quote by -Jimmy White
Ronnie is the greatest player to have ever picked up a snooker cue. People have said that about me. But although I won 50 or so tournaments I never picked up the world championship. That was a little bit of a disappointment.
Quote by -Jimmy White
It is like any sport. You practise thousands of times and you miss the simplest ball and you don't understand why. But that's why snooker is so special, because all of sudden you can lose everything.
Quote by -Jimmy White
I was a beat-the-system sort of player, but you can't beat the system, you have to prepare properly.
Quote by -Jimmy White
Golf and snooker are similar. They are ball games that you don't have to be super fit for. It's not like boxing or football when, at 35, you are on your way home.
Quote by -Jimmy White
Listen, I could have won the World Championship. Obviously if I had the chance to do it all again I would do things differently. But then would I have still wanted to play?
Quote by -Jimmy White
I was a big fan of Naseem Hamed, and followed him. Ronnie O'Sullivan, Stephen Hendry and I know him well.
Quote by -Jimmy White
The worst problem I've probably had was the gambling - you can do your money in the bookies a lot quicker than you can do it in the pub.
Quote by -Jimmy White
I love playing O'Sullivan. It is a bit of a role reversal from when I used to play Alex Higgins.
Quote by -Jimmy White
I love playing in Ireland and I've had great support here, like I get everywhere.
Quote by -Jimmy White
I was mad-keen on poker as a kid. It was like the snooker, pulling me into that same smokey atmosphere I loved.
