I can stand up and go : 'look , boom boom boom ' but the ref will say : `` sit down Mr O'Sullivan , it 's not your shot . Just chill out , man . Wait until he 's finished . '' I 'm thinking : finished ? I wan na get some dinner in . 'Oh s**t mate . They put me on an evening match and I 've got some geezer poncing about , I think : I aint gon na get no dinner . Because of him ! And I 'm starving and I 'm thinking : the restaurant shuts at half nine , ten . It 's like quarter to nine now and we aint even at the interval . Come on mate . 'And then you think to yourself , come on , well , if you really want it that bad you can have it . Pffft ! Good luck to you .

But I 've never thought like that . I 've always thought , if I lose this one , I 'm gon na win the next one . 'If I do n't make the maximum here , there 's one round the corner mate , I just know . So I never get under pressure . In fact I thrive on it . I were n't even gon na pot the black on one . I made 140 and thought , you know what : fuck you and your four grand highest break [ prize ] . You can have it . I aint even that bothered . 'Do you know what I 'm saying ? Although I 'm excited and there is adrenaline pumping through my body , I do n't feel under pressure . I know that they just happen , and they will happen . ' O'Sullivan is crowned UK snooker champion for the fifth time in his career in 2014 .
