When I have a day off, I will have a day off.

I'm ugly, I'm overweight, but I'm happy

That means I can drive a flock of sheep through the town centre, drink for free in no less than 64 pubs and get a lift home with the police when I become inebriated. What more could you want?

Captaincy is something you get better at through experience. You've got to trust your instincts.

A lot of the lads have a bat for the nets, a bat for facing the bowling machine and a separate bat for the match. I'll just crack on with a bat until it breaks - then crack on with another one.

I'm not too good with packing. I always have every intention of doing it the week before and then leave it until the last moment - but at least I do it myself, I don't leave it to the missus.

The black woman had had to struggle against being a person of great strength.

Wouldn't. Think. About. Ian.

I am writing my second novel for children for Simon and Schuster.
