I believe in controlling the control elements. Something where we don't have control on certain things, those things you obviously cannot waste your energy in trying to figure out 'How can I control this?' You would much rather focus all your energy on the things that you can control.

At the start of my career, when I used to toss and turn at night, I was fighting that feeling and wanting to go to sleep. Now I know that's normal, so I'll just get up and watch TV or something. I know it's just my subconscious mind getting ready for a game.

Great individuals and great performances build a team, which produces brilliant performances.

It's important to work hard - there's no short cut around that.

I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.

People throw stones at you and you convert them into milestones.

Sometimes I need to look at the scoreboard to figure out whether I'm batting hundred-plus or whether I am on zero.
