- [Regarding his rivalry with Steve Davis in the 80s] I quite liked it, me and Steve Davis, I was sort of wasting me time partying and he was practicing, so I never had any problems with Steve Davis, but you knew, if you were playing Steve Davis, you were going to be in a war. I had a rivalry with him that lasted for five or six years, and I think it was quite healthy for the game.
- [1981 snooker UK Championship, post quarter-final interview] I am not convinced Steve (Davis) is as far out on his own as a lot of people believe. I aim to prove my point in our semi-final showdown. (White eventually lost 9-0 in the semi-final the next day)
