I don't like the way I ever appear on TV.

The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.

When I was broke, no one ever offered to buy me a beer. Now that I have quite a bit of money, everybody tries to buy me beers. Where were all these people back when I was in college and broke?

Poker is meant to be enjoyed.

World Class players can lay down the toughest hands and play any two cards at any time without fear. Their reads are impeccable.

I always pretend like I'm nervous no matter what. I try to fall asleep.

Other than that and the fact that I don't have to work any more my life hasn't changed a bit.

But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous, it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.

God only exhibits his thunder and lightning at intervals, and so they always command attention.

I think it's more interesting if you go all the way with the world you have, and really look at it, and push it to an even more extreme extreme.

There's so much to watch, I can't even keep up.

I was meant to be a composer and will be I'm sure. Don't ask me to try to forget this unpleasant thing and go play football - please.

It's interesting that people bring different things to oppressive and difficult situations, when they're reduced to the barest terms of survival. That's what provides tension in a lot of films.
