I'd ban drinking from darts.

I eat, breathe and sleep darts.

In any sport, you need a rival.

Confidence beats a lot of people.

I hate suitcases. With a passion.

Money brings jealousy and bitterness.

Max Hopp has a good style, lovely throw.

So much of sport is that mental attitude.

I love liver and onions or a roast dinner.

The baggage of celebrity can be very heavy.

I treat Adrian Lewis as if he were my own son.

If I'm on a bus and an old lady gets on, I get up.

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

I love cheese and biscuits, the stronger the better.

I'll never be able to stop working or playing darts.

I have two bowls of confidence for breakfast each morning.

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

I believe I'll still be winning world titles at 50 and beyond.

There are certain things I wish I could turn back the clock for.

My parents had nothing - just basic wages for all their hard work.

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

If you cut the fat out of your diet you feel more energetic, for sure.

Stoke's a depressed area, so people are working hard to get out of it.

Ever since I've been 16, 15, that's all I've been doing: playing darts.

You eat when you're hungry, and I'm not normally hungry in the mornings.

Sometimes I'm playing darts in my sleep and I wake myself up. I hate it.

I like a drink, mate. I'll have maybe 10 or 12 pints on a good night out.

Any sport where people earn a lot of money you are going to get groupies.

You can't drink too many otherwise you can't see what you're throwing at.

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

I am more of a knobhead than an egghead but I will be gutted if I get beat.

When I won the worlds in 1990, I won 70 out of the next 72 or 74 tournaments.

My mum and dad always brought me up like that. You go to work, you do your best.

Well, when you've got nothing, you're always looking forward to having something.

When I was 30 I became world champion and that's when I started to make a living.

I do get addicted to stuff. I tried playing golf and I was soon going twice a day.

There's only one thing better than winning 14 world titles - and that's winning 15.

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

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

The world is a dangerous place and I've had a nice fanbase without any of the hassle.

Mum was nuts - you'd get a bucket of water over you if you refused to get out of bed.

My dad bought me a dartboard for my 11th birthday, and I became intrigued by the game.

You don't realise the power of TV, it's all over the world obviously, and it's lovely.

I play a lot of charity golf mainly. I'm a bandit 18 if I play two or three times a week.

It's all right buying all these good players but they've got to gel, and that takes time.

My dad was an Arsenal supporter and he used to take me there, but I've always been Chelsea.

I'm flying to China and Japan - if you think Beckham is a big name, you should see me there.

Nah, I don't watch TV either, apart from a few sports programmes. I just don't have the time.

When I first started doing exhibitions, you'd have 20 people down the pub, if you were lucky.

There are a few things I lost which I shouldn't have lost. I know what I did wrong. I was lazy.
