“In the '90s, I never socialised with other players.” — Stephen Hendry

I like cookery programmes: Anthony Bourdain going around the world eating stuff; Rick Stein - he's another favourite.

Reading from cover to cover - I'm not a great reader.

There's no point, me turning up at the world championship as a publicity stunt and then lose 10-3 to someone who shouldn't tie my shoelaces.

Unless I can do myself justice and play well, I'm not going to play.
