I want to win, I've still got the fire in the belly to win, it's just the old utensils are not working as good as they used to.

It's been marvellous. I've had a fantastic career.

I worked as an engineer before going into ceramics, making insulators. It was my job, so I got it done. But I also had a lot of pride in myself.

Dad didn't earn a big wage but even if he was really ill he'd go to work.

My mum and dad worked in the pottery industry.

If I want to keep playing, I've got to take care of myself.

You get about 20 people in the audience calling you a cheat. It hurts your feelings.

If you told me I was at number 34 Blake Street, I'd immediately think 'double 17.' If I was at number 37, I'd think 'five, double 16.'

When we were travelling in different countries I felt like I was jetlagged eight months of the year.

Do I miss the darts? No, not at all. It has been great not to get up in the morning and have to be dedicated anymore. That is the best part.

I love winning. It is a fantastic feeling.

I can see when people's minds are wrong. You can see when a footballer's going to miss a penalty.

You can't teach people to win, it's in you, you've either got it or you haven't.

I used to body build six or seven days a week. I was really, really fit. I wasn't naturally talented but I was fanatical at it. That's the problem with me, I've got a one-track mind.

With darts it's just one against one, it's blow for blow. The only thing I could compare it to is boxing. It's dead exciting. You're reacting to each other, the adrenaline's pumping. You don't feel calm at all. But it's all about being able to win when you're pumped up. People say you don't play the player; I play the player every time.

I have always been 100% regimental and I haven't done what I should do and sometimes you can be a casualty of your own success.

There have been too many miles on the road. I have been doing six or seven exhibitions a week, two or three a night sometimes.

You know what, December's a funny time of the year, because the weather changes, the central heating comes on; sometimes you can get colds and coughs and flu.

I used to have to go to the board and hit three 180s before I'd allow myself to go to bed. Sometimes, I'd do it in five minutes but, on a bad night, it could take an hour.

I would never dream of telling them how to play but it would be amazing if England won the World Cup.

My attitude it that you don't give in.

So much of sport is that mental attitude.

It's hard to keep a marriage when you're on the road all the time.

I'm just a working class man who's done well for himself.
