My plan, when I walked out on to the field on Friday morning, was to just enjoy myself because when I'm smiling and having fun I generally bowl my best.

I am keen on helping Indian bowlers but I am not seeking a full-time role. But yes I am really keen on helping out pace bowlers across the world.

Sachin Tendulkar the best yesterday, today and forever

I bowl my best when I am fittest and the best way to get fit is to bowl. That's how you get your rhythm. You cannot really find a rhythm by bowling in the nets.

If u can't get along with Dravid, u're struggling in life

If you can’t get the wicket of Rohit Sharma, you are struggling in life

It's very challenging. The most important thing you need as a sportsman is to be clear on what you're actually doing.

Growing up, you look at guys like Jeff Thomson as heroes, so going past him is pretty special.

No matter how good or experienced, he [Sehwag] can kill your attitude.

Sachin Tendulkar is a guy you don't want to chat to period, because he will knuckle down...

As a Test cricketer you expect that at times you're going to be heckled, and you must have a thick skin.

I would rather be confused for 10 minutes than bored for 5 seconds.

Liberal capitalism is not at all the Good of humanity. Quite the contrary; it is the vehicle of savage, destructive nihilism.

My comprehension of God comes from a deeply felt conviction of a superior intelligence that reveals itself in the knowable world.

If the Church is a body, and the body is a business, isn't that the same thing as prostitution?

There's a universe inside your head - a place of pictures and passions, of songs and sorrows. It's everything you are - and it's an utter mystery.

I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies, the less I rehearse, the better I am.

If I had hit it like I wanted to I'd have holed it.

I think the important thing now, getting closer to the pitch counts, it feels like I got something left. I felt I could have gone out and thrown another 20-25 pitches.

Because, really, what was worse than lying wide-awake in the dark, watching your life drip away, one irreplaceable minute after another?

I am very proud. It is always fun to win such a prize, to be chosen as Swedens best player a certain year.
