If you have an ache or pain, or if you don't feel well, get yourself checked.

I have been able to buy a house with a swimming pool and everything we do now is completely transformed compared to what it was like when I was an electrician.

The first to five, it's anyone's game. You only have to slip up in one leg, they get a break and then you're up against it.

We all dream about winning the Premier League. We all set our stall out to qualify and we worry about positions afterwards.

In life you cannot expect things to fall into your lap, you have got to work hard.

Just in myself the motivation side of it, maybe just being a little bit more aggressive to get something out of myself a little bit more. I definitely play better with it.

This game is a profession now, it's not a hobby any more. You can earn great money and there are loads of people earning a living out of the game.

Ability gets you so far, but having bottle and staying strong when you're getting pounded, staying in a game, that's a mental quality.

The money is obviously life-changing in lots of ways. But I'll always be the same Rob Cross.

I was someone who used to live a sheltered life.

I've had moments of brilliance but on my busier weeks when I haven't had my practice regime, it is hard-work.

I want the No 1 spot. If you can't be the best player in the world then what's the point? If I had to settle on No 2 it wouldn't be good enough. I want to be the best.

Obviously the crowds are massive on the Premier League so it took me a bit of time to actually settle and get some results.

The harder you work the more you will deserve and that is the attitude I have.

I was going into things believing I can win it but now I know I can it - the difference in that is massive for me and it will make me work harder.

I always had a phobia of heights, but since I've been flying more regularly I have no problem with it now. I just go to sleep.

I'm always altering things to try and get better. It's not always about the darts too, I'm trying to eat healthier and look after myself, I even bought a dog to walk.

Crowds can play massive parts in games, we all know that.

I want to look after myself and have a long-lasting career if I can. I want it in my hands and choose when I want to stop playing. I also want to be around for my kids to watch them grow up.

I'm going to balance my schedule so I'm still getting everything I need and just making sure I'm happy really, because when you're happy it is easier to play darts.

As long as I do the right things for me, I can go in there and win anything.

I believe in my own ability and I think the belief is there to win anything in the world.

I spend a lot of time away from my family but they are so supportive and have been brilliant - the confidence you get from them, cheering you up when you feel a bit low.

To get up in the morning and do what I love doing is a dream and it has come to reality for me.

Darts has changed my life but it won't change me as a person - if anything, winning has put more hunger in me, I want to win more.

I've never been a big person. I was about 14 stone when I was working, but when you go up to 18 stone then you know you've got issues.

My chest problem was a major worry because it was exactly the same symptoms as a heart attack.

What do you want? It's a massive question in life and I wanted to win the world championship and provide for my family.

I'll just try and try and perform to the best of my capabilities.

I can offer my family things that I could never have dreamt of - darts has changed my life.

The demand, the amount of games I've played, and the time away from home has been the most ever. It's been hard but I do it to give my family a better life.

Without these people who want selfies? People pay decent money to come and watch you. It doesn't hurt to take time out, and give back.

I can be a little bit guilty of being too nice.

I won the World Championship as a novice. They're strong words and most people probably won't like that but I couldn't care.

There is no reason why women cannot be as good as the men.

The money financially is more for the family because I just enjoy playing darts. It's great situation to be able to earn money out of it.

Darts is more psychological than anything... staying mentally strong.

You always get to stages where you need to hit something with one dart left in your hand. That determines all of us, whether we win or lose. Obviously it's all mental, how mentally strong you can be to deal with that pressure.

Obviously going from an electrician to doing what I do now, the money is great. I can go on holidays now and do different things.

I was just a working boy from a normal household.

Don't get me wrong I believe in my own ability.

After a game, after a week of eating right, eating clean, you feel like that's when you deserve a nice cheat meal and basically hop on anything after the game.

Just follow the rules. Always have a designated driver. Don't be doing anything to make someone mad. And just walk away from the trouble.

If you go out once a week, they can blast on you that you're always out all the time, but I always put work first, and people sometimes don't see the side of going into the weight room, behind-the-scenes-type stuff with football.

I actually played hockey my whole life, all the way up until ninth grade.

It's always good to be out there with your teammates, working with your teammates in individual drills, team drills, just being out there, getting on the same page, just getting into flow with them.

Beer is nasty.

My mom would always travel with us to everything; my dad introduced us to the weight room and showed us how to properly work out.

I did make National Honors Society in high school.

To this day, I still haven't touched one dime of my signing bonus or NFL contract money. I live off my marketing money and haven't blown it on any big-money expensive cars, expensive jewelry, or tattoos and still wear my favorite pair of jeans from high school.
