JUDD TRUMP

It's all about practice and more practice. Travel to tournaments, play in them, watch other players.

When people tip you, a lot put themselves under pressure but I use it as an advantage.

If there are groupies out there, bring 'em on, the more the merrier.

Obviously you'd always be happy to have another tour on the side, earning extra money, but for most of the players I think we're all pretty happy.

I used to be quite laid back and that. But obviously the more you're in the public eye, the more you've got to... dress to impress.

The conditions are always slightly better back in the U.K. There's a lot of distractions when you play away in China and it's very easy to get on a bad run out there, with various things going on when you play.

I do everything right-handed - football, tennis, darts and golf - except for snooker.

I really like my cars. The way I see it, if I work then I can treat myself to these presents.

It is just nice to be able to tick off all of the events I've won and hopefully one day be able to complete them all.

I started playing on a tiny table when I was 3 and then started playing properly when I was 10 or 11.

Older people like to dress older. I dress in more flamboyant, stylish.

I don't really think about missing. Whereas a lot of the other players are scared to miss, I think that if I pot it I'll be in with a chance of winning the frame.

I've got to be aware of what's going on. I can't drink too much or make a fool of myself.

It has sunk into my head that I want to be winning four or five tournaments a season.

When you put your all in and people say 'he has given up,' that is hard to take.

People were saying on social media, 'He's going out too much' - I got judged. That was demoralising.

I always go for centuries at the end of frames because it gives the fans a chance to celebrate.

I always go to the Masters knowing I'm going to play well.

When there are four or five tables going on it is hard to keep your concentration.

You don't want to get to 40, 45 and not have won the world title.

Goals? I've achieved the main ones of winning the World Championship and being world number one.

I want to be able to play fast and exciting snooker like my hero Ronnie O'Sullivan.

You are never going to get snooker on to the front pages because there is not enough money in the game here.

When the frame's safe, I like to let myself go a bit; play a few more entertaining shots rather than just getting the frame over and done with.

People see the way I play and the balls I pot and then sometimes think 'how does he miss?'
