I am not bound by material things. It's being successful that drives me forward. I love success. I don't wake up in the morning thinking 'Great - I've got one million pounds in the bank'. I wake up happy because I am a successful part of a successful team. It's that success that brings all the media coverage, the first-night parties, the endorsements. I will never lose sight of that. It has come very quickly - sooner than even I expected. But it's great to know that if I continue in the same vein, then I can do exactly what I want with the rest of my life. I will be financially secure.

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

I'm a very proud person.

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.

I don't feel sorry for myself.

An achilles, if it doesn't heal right, there could be a danger of not playing again.
