I used to go into the practice room when I played county. Sometimes I wasn't playing until five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and I was there at 9 A.M. The cleaners were hoovering around me.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
My mum and dad always brought me up like that. You go to work, you do your best.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
During the 1990s I was dominating everything. People were saying they were beaten before we got on to the stage.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I watched my children grow up, then they left home and had their own children. You miss them.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I think we've got every chance of being an Olympic sport and, if they did put us in, I know they'd sell a lot of tickets and the atmosphere would be fantastic. I would love to see it, I really would. If you want to sell tickets and get thousands of people there, then do it.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
My dad was only 57 when he died. That's one of the things that makes me worried. You never know what's around the corner. I don't want to go at 57 and not having done anything but played darts.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
People are determined to play well against me because they don't want to look silly and lose 6-0. But then, when I'm playing my best, it's weird. Their heads drop and it's like they're suddenly frightened.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I can sit down and watch the Discovery channel and see something on nuclear submarines that gets me thinking about torpedoes and darts . Or I can see a documentary about someone preparing for a big challenge and I'll use the same techniques. You always need to aim to get better.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I'm good friends with Robbie Williams because we both grew up in Stoke and our dads went to the same pubs. His dad, Pete, is like my second dad, I can talk to him about anything and I see him most weeks. And Rob is brilliant, a really generous, lovely bloke.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
It can be a quick career if you don't perform properly. If some of these pros don't do something to reinvent themselves, they're going to go down the rankings as quick as anything.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I used to watch a lot of people and think, 'You're not dedicated.' It's half an hour into the game and they have dropped their standard. They weren't putting the effort in.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
Mum was nuts - you'd get a bucket of water over you if you refused to get out of bed.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I would have been a fantastic captain in a football team or a manager because I would have motivated people.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
There's only one thing better than winning 14 world titles - and that's winning 15.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
Down the years, I have always enjoyed playing Raymond van Barneveld. There is always a frisson of excitement in the air, an edge to the contest that makes the sap rise, but it stops short of pure enmity.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
These youngsters coming into the sport are bright lads. They see how much money there is now and they realise you've got to be fitter and stronger than the others.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
When I first started doing exhibitions, you'd have 20 people down the pub, if you were lucky.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
Sometimes getting beaten isn't such a bad thing. It gives me a chance to look at myself in a new way.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I've got a friend who has a juice business and he brings boxes round and fills up my fridge with fruit and vegetable juices.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I don't know why I am liked. I think it's probably because I've just been normal, not been flash or tried to hurt anybody. I'm not one for going out and going to nightclubs. I'd rather stay in and watch a good movie.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
There are a few things I lost which I shouldn't have lost. I know what I did wrong. I was lazy.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
You can't know the dedication it takes to win 16 world titles until you do it yourself. I didn't know what John Lowe had to do before me. I respected him because that's how I was brought up - but I respect him more now that I've done it myself.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
You can get spoilt in this game, you know. You reach the point where you get a new car and don't get excited about it. You get complacent, and that's what you've got to watch for.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I do get addicted to stuff. I tried playing golf and I was soon going twice a day.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
When we play in the Pro Tour there's no crowds in, so you can concentrate better. The others play better as well, there's players who can't play too good on TV but on the floor when it's nice and quiet they can bang them in, let me tell you.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
Money is great for paying the bills and putting food in the cupboard and in the fridge. But winning titles is different altogether. It's what you do, it's your living.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
You can't afford to be lazy in this business, and in the past I've used all the travelling and the hotels as an excuse not to stick to exercise regimes and looking after myself.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I grew up in Mill Hill. All potteries, mining. Then once Maggie Thatcher closed the pits down, it became a bit depressed.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I don't get an eighth of the attention of David Beckham, but it's still pretty heavy.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
We had this little yard, and during the summer holidays, when my mum and dad were working, I spent hours bowling a golf ball at a stick. Just bowling, bowling, bowling. And I got to where I could hit the stick every time, repeating the same action. That's where the darts came from.
Quote by -Phil Taylor
I'm a little like Roy Keane. Mentally I'm very strong. I'm very hungry. I'm very dedicated. You can't throw me off my stride. That's how I break people. I just don't care what they do. They can throw 180, 180 and 180 again and I'm like, 'so what?' They've got to keep it up to beat me.
