“My eyesight had always been good but at school I went swimming one day...” — Judd Trump Quote

My eyesight had always been good but at school I went swimming one day and the chlorine affected me badly. I was almost blinded for two weeks and from there things deteriorated. Then at the World Championship in 2007 I realised I couldn't see the back of the pocket. It was one big blur. My first two seasons as a pro it was dreadful.

It has sunk into my head that I want to be winning four or five tournaments a season.

Other people try and tweak their techniques and that, but I've just been exactly the same all my life, and I'd never change anything.

Obviously my parents have been a massive influence on me my whole career, taking me around everywhere and putting me in this position.

When I was on 'Doubt' on CBS, there was a 60-second scene, but in that 60 seconds, people were so affected because it was trans women in a very normalized situation.

Of course, the way writers think about those things is almost certain to be affected by their own cultural background, and it would be hard to deny that, for whatever reasons, a lot of SF writers come from Anglo or European backgrounds.

If someone gets up and walks out of the movie, it means it's really affected them.

There is stuff in my background that affected my reputation.

When you see a person you love being affected, suffering, people saying things that aren't true... then it hurts you.
