Stephen Hendry Quotes Quotes

The worst loss in my career - the 2002 World Championship final against Peter Ebdon.
There are players out there who want to dominate and keep their opponent sitting down. They want to make centuries and win frames at a single visit, and I like to see that.
There are some people who never get used to losing at anything, and I am probably one of them.
There are times when there's been some discontent and muttered threats from audience members. I take no notice, and in any case, I always have John Carroll around to deflect unpleasantness.
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.
These days, you can watch many different sports; you are saturated with it 24 hours a day. And young boys all want to be footballers because you don't even need to be that good, and you can still earn £100,000 a week.
Unless I can do myself justice and play well, I'm not going to play.
When I didn't retain the world title after my first win, which no one's ever done, I was gutted and made my driver take me home straight away. We travelled through the night, and I didn't say a word all the way from Sheffield to South Queensferry.
When I started, there was never a great history of people doing well in snooker from Scotland. By chance, I got a table for my Christmas. If I hadn't got that, then none of this would have happened.
When I was 13, my parents bought me a mini snooker set for my birthday. From the moment I first held a cue in my hands, I was transfixed.
When I was playing Jimmy White in those finals, I could tell when he was under pressure.
When I'm practising on my own, my game feels great, but there's a big difference between practising on your own and playing against people.
When you get a trophy, why go jumping and crying? Winning's a great feeling, but everything else is an anti-climax.
When you have a big lead, you relax and don't concentrate as much.
When you're young and you first come onto the scene, you're fearless. You just go for your shots and don't really think about the consequences. But as you play on through years and years, you get punished for those misses, and gradually, that leaves scars. It dents your confidence a bit.
You benefit from deep inner belief of having wins behind you, so you get to the table, and you know you're not going to miss.
You cannot underestimate the body blow for a snooker player of having your cue broken. After all, it's an extension to your arm.
You get better as the rounds go on.
You have to win any way you can.
You really have to be winning by the time you get to 20 these days.
