I can never sit still for five minutes..

I always say that things are meant to be and everything happens for a reason, so I don't have any regrets..

It's the weight of expectation that's the hardest to deal with, really, from my point of view..

Big players want to play in front of big audiences..

I never think of playing for South Africa. It's the furthest thing from my mind..

I don't feel sorry for myself..

I have played a lot of Test cricket with Paul Collingwood over the past year. I seem to be spending more time with him than my fiancee..

I'm a very proud person..

I have principles in my professional and personal life as to how things are done..

I am very fortunate having the job that I do and I want to do it for as long as possible..

I've had to calm down, I have a kid! It is amazing. It's the best thing ever. Nothing better than it..

The hardest thing is that you can't trust people now. You just can't..

I think I had about a month off when I broke my rib in Australia, which was magnificent..

I have no interest in anyone who wants to criticise me, or doesn't like me despite never having met me..

A good four to six weeks is about right for a proper break..

I get along fine with the press..

The boys are so well-rounded, they're so self-disciplined, there is so much camaraderie.

I have some real big goals with England..

It's not fun facing a ball going 97 mph, trust me..

I am who I am, in terms of shooting from the hip occasionally..

I've seen how Rahul goes about his innings & that's something I want to get myself involved with..
