Don't get me wrong I believe in my own ability.

I was just a working boy from a normal household.

Obviously going from an electrician to doing what I do now, the money is great. I can go on holidays now and do different things.

You always get to stages where you need to hit something with one dart left in your hand. That determines all of us, whether we win or lose. Obviously it's all mental, how mentally strong you can be to deal with that pressure.

Darts is more psychological than anything... staying mentally strong.

The money financially is more for the family because I just enjoy playing darts. It's great situation to be able to earn money out of it.

There is no reason why women cannot be as good as the men.

I won the World Championship as a novice. They're strong words and most people probably won't like that but I couldn't care.

I can be a little bit guilty of being too nice.

Without these people who want selfies? People pay decent money to come and watch you. It doesn't hurt to take time out, and give back.

The demand, the amount of games I've played, and the time away from home has been the most ever. It's been hard but I do it to give my family a better life.

I can offer my family things that I could never have dreamt of - darts has changed my life.

I'll just try and try and perform to the best of my capabilities.

What do you want? It's a massive question in life and I wanted to win the world championship and provide for my family.

My chest problem was a major worry because it was exactly the same symptoms as a heart attack.

I've never been a big person. I was about 14 stone when I was working, but when you go up to 18 stone then you know you've got issues.

Darts has changed my life but it won't change me as a person - if anything, winning has put more hunger in me, I want to win more.

To get up in the morning and do what I love doing is a dream and it has come to reality for me.

I spend a lot of time away from my family but they are so supportive and have been brilliant - the confidence you get from them, cheering you up when you feel a bit low.

I believe in my own ability and I think the belief is there to win anything in the world.

As long as I do the right things for me, I can go in there and win anything.

I'm going to balance my schedule so I'm still getting everything I need and just making sure I'm happy really, because when you're happy it is easier to play darts.

I want to look after myself and have a long-lasting career if I can. I want it in my hands and choose when I want to stop playing. I also want to be around for my kids to watch them grow up.

Crowds can play massive parts in games, we all know that.
