For a batsman, scoring runs abroad is always a challenge.

If you're successful, it's important to enjoy it! I love shopping for clothes, branded clothes. I love shopping in England, Dubai. I like to travel whenever I can.

I try to do better than what I have before.

My job is to perform, enjoy cricket and thank God for whatever he has given me.

I don't compete with others, but compete with myself.

I am not brand conscious. I wear what suits me.

I will never date an actor or a model. My family will never accept her. We are a middle class family, and an actress will never be able to gel with us.

As professional cricketers, we have to ensure that we are battle-ready all the time.

At the international level, one has to keep working hard and develop new skills. International cricket is all about improving yourself.

I would never date or marry an actress. I will marry the girl of my mom's choice.

It is a great feeling of course to have scored so many runs, but that is what I play cricket for: to score lots of runs.

To me, art begets art. Painting feeds the eye just as poetry feeds the ear, which is to say that both feed the soul.

The consistent thinker, the consistently moral man, is either a walking mummy or else, if he has not succeeded in stifling all his vitality, a fanatical monomaniac.

The philosopher says think your way out. The sensualist says play your way out but none of it works.

Sam, had a great time this weekend but the golf was lousey.

Like the sacramental use of water and bread and wine, friendship takes what's common in human experience and turns it into something holy.

What you believe, you receive.

I like to say that films are never finished, they're only abandoned.

Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.

The Truth is far more powerful than any weapon of mass destruction.

Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.
