QUOTES BY Phil Taylor


Boxers Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank would not have missed their rivalry for all the world, and I don't mind a bit of needle in darts if it helps to pay the bills.

Money doesn't mean anything. It's just money.

People think that being rich is all about having money. But the times I've had the most money is when I've been unhappiest.

During the year, when I'm not doing major tournaments, I'll go to the gym for about two to three hours in the morning and practise darts in the afternoon.

Everything goes with age. Your eyesight, your energy levels.

I've got a small gym in my house so I can work my arms and shoulders.

I'm a little like Roy Keane. Mentally I'm very strong. I'm very hungry. I'm very dedicated. You can't throw me off my stride. That's how I break people. I just don't care what they do. They can throw 180, 180 and 180 again and I'm like, 'so what?' They've got to keep it up to beat me.

We had this little yard, and during the summer holidays, when my mum and dad were working, I spent hours bowling a golf ball at a stick. Just bowling, bowling, bowling. And I got to where I could hit the stick every time, repeating the same action. That's where the darts came from.

I don't get an eighth of the attention of David Beckham, but it's still pretty heavy.
