I think pride is more important sometimes than making money.
The biggest test for any cricketer in England is the weather.
Though teenagers are generally very interested in sports, they must realise that education is the most important thing in their lives. They must find the right balance.
I have great respect for Jaypee Greens as a company that has produced a truly world class, 24-carat, championship golf course. I am happy to be associated with a company with such outstanding qualities.

Sports is my passion.
It isn't easy being a celebrity cricketer in India.
I used to hate any batsman who would not get out in my deliveries.
People often ask me whether I believe in God. I haven't seen God. But I think that one's beliefs are one's God - and, in those terms, yes, God is there.
Try and understand: cricket was played by Commonwealth countries only; now it has started in other countries as well, and I am proud of that.
Irrespective of any political party, I am a supporter of good people who want to do something for the society.
In the long run, I believe that honesty is definitely the best policy. One can get away by being dishonest for a short term, but ultimately, honesty is what pays.

There is inspiration all around us.

When you have to work, work with a smile.
Fast bowling is an art, like spin bowling.
I feel that World Cup cricket should be played like football in which all the 160 countries take part. If only a handful of countries are going to keep on playing in the World Cup without making the game popular, I will be a sad man.
