The wickets I have played on for my whole career, most of them have been to suit fast bowlers in Australia.

With just about every player in Australia, his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That's why they're playing first class cricket. It's just a different attitude.

Sachin Tendulkar is in my time the best player without doubt - daylight second, Brian Lara third.

Part of the art of bowling spin is to make the batsman think something special is happening when it isn't.

When I turned 36 I realised - the likelihood is that in four years time I'll be 40.

Never give up; just absolutely never give up.

To me, cricket is a simple game. Keep it simple and just go out and play.

Find a way to get back in to the game, find a way to build a partnership, find a way to catch a ball, find a way to stop it.

Being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling.

I still eat pizzas, I still like pies, I still have spaghetti hoops for breakfast... but it's in moderation now.

I can 100 percent tell you that I have not gone under the surgeon's knife or had a facelift.

Whether your pleasing or pissing everybody off, your doing something wrong.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

You must understand: they fear you. There is nothing scarier in their minds than a girl who knows the power of her flames.

We shape our buildings thereafter they shape us.

At Arsenal we play a very attractive, offensive style so I always have to be aware of counter attacks when you have to shift your position a lot more.

You offer a sincere compliment on a great mustache and suddenly she's not your friend.

Because my heat was too full of appreciation for what my friends-- my real friends-- had done for me.

Sleep 'til you're hungry, eat 'til you're sleepy.

I don't dislike my peers because they're still around and remind me of what I'm doing. I never liked them anyway. I never liked U2, the things they've done over the years.

Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week.
