I think the mixture of pressure and elation after winning the world title took some getting used to and that impacted on my personal life big-time.
I like stuff like 'Top Gun.' I like horror films. I love them.
When I won the first world title in 2011 I was practising six, seven or even more hours a day.
I've made mistakes but we all have to learn from time to time.
When I was younger I got accused of gamesmanship but I grew out of it.
I think that winning a third World Championship would really take me up to another level in the sport.
When I start winning big tournaments I don't think I'll just win tournaments, I think I'll blow them away.
I know what to expect from the crowd and enjoy playing in front of the big crowds.
I really enjoyed working on a building site. I also worked for a couple of months in a mobile phone repair shop. That just wasn't me.
Mates are supposed to look after each other, right?
Darts should definitely be in the Olympic Games. Can you tell me any difference between archery and darts or shooting and darts? It's a very similar concept and both of those are in the Olympic Games. And don't forget that darts is also a hugely popular sport.
Sure, there's pressure when you have one dart at double top when there's a world 'championship to be won, but real 'pressure is what our troops are doing in 'Afghanistan.
The Matchplay is a straight knock-out tournament so everybody is under pressure straight away - I prefer that.
We're all trying so hard to win each of these World Series events and the standard now is phenomenal but it's great that everyone's pushing each other.
In the Premier League you know you'll play a certain amount of matches so you can always think 'I'll put it right next week' if you lose.
Some people say it is relaxing to fish. But not with me. I simply cannot switch off my competitive instincts.
When I throw a dart, even when I'm looking I know if I've missed or hit as soon as I release the dart.
My mum played darts for the county. But only in the B team.
One World Championship is not enough. Probably eight is not enough. I've set a target of 10 and I'd like between eight and 10.
There is always room for improvement even if you're getting 110 averages.
The majority of players are serious about being fitter. They are drinking diet coke instead of lager in the practice room and if I'm going to stay ahead, that's what I'll have to do.
I have the game for the pressure matches and now I just have to be consistent.
One minute you're nobody and the next thing you've got people following you around.
I don't mind being busy.
I always wear flat shoes for darts because a heel can put me off balance. I press the side of my shoe against the oche, not the toe. That puts my throwing arm a few inches closer to the board. Not everybody is the same but it works for me.
It is a disgrace. I think darts should be at the Olympics. Obviously you'd have to cut out the drinking side of the game. But apart from that there's no reason why it shouldn't be there.
Success seems to go round in circles.
When I am not playing or practising, I like to spend time with the family.
I was a promising keeper as a kid and, at 15 and 16, was on the books of Crewe Alexandra.
You can focus on the ranking events but I do miss the Premier League because it's massive.
Every time you come to Glasgow, it is going to be tough because the crowd don't like me. When they are swearing at you and booing, it's hard.
I like to think I won't change as a person, even if I go on to win 20 world titles. I will still be just a working-class lad from the Potteries, the same daft old me.
I know people say that we are a load of beer drinkers but we are far more professional these days. These critics should come and have a go at playing darts if they think it is so easy.
