Life is a challenge that you need. There's things in life that are going to throw you into the ground, but if you learn how to get up, that means you are not a quitter.

You can never fall in love with a team.

My timing’s a little off. But I’m about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

I once wrote a book on courage and what made people courageous. I found it was a strength of belief matched by a strength of willpower.

How can you know God if you don't know your big toe?

I will never forget my first game for England at the World Cup, It was against Turkey... no I mean Tunisia.

Where the earth is, we are.
