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.

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.

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.

The future is uncertain, and therefore I can't predict it.

Freedom is something that should not be washed away in time leaving the essence alone in time.

Endure every hardship with hope.

Have patience. You will eventually lose sight of what you truly deserve if you get too fixed on grabbing any stuff quickly. Things that last don't grow easy.

Every moment of the nightForever changing placesAnd they put out the star-lightWith the breath from their pale faces

If we resist our passions it is more from their weakness than from our strength.

Stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will'.

It was the day my grandmother exploded.

Um, I have an enormous faith in God. I have an enormous support system that also has that same belief.

Sometimes in life it is a good idea to stop,sometimes it is a good idea to go on. The trick is to decide when to stop

When there's no information and the compass turns to nowhere that you know well, let your soul be your pilot.
