I don't wake up every day and think about which tournaments I won and which titles I hold. It's something I don't care about.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When there's an important tournament going on, I try and stay in a bubble. It's easy that way because then you don't have to worry about anything else.
It is for me to realise my value and put in the effort to win big tournaments.
I hate to play a tournament in which I'm not contending. It's just not any fun for me.
I don't worry about numbers. I worry about wins. You can see all the years that my numbers went down and how many championships I've got. That's what I worry about.
If I win seven tournaments in a row, I get so confident I'm in a cloud. A loss gets me eager again.
You don't win tournaments by playing well and thinking poorly.
I don't play a lot of tournaments, but if I don't win a tournament in a year, people are like, 'What in the world is going on?' People don't realize how hard it is to win tournaments. You're not going to go out and play 10 tournaments and win one of them. Your odds aren't that good.
Every time I go into a tournament, I'm strictly on my own. I know I'm playing for my bread and butter.
I try to win every tournament.
Rankings are not so important. I am only focused on winning tournaments.
