It's important to get under your opponent's skin and let them know that you are coming for them out in the middle. When you do that, half the battle's won!

I would love to win a trophy for South Africa in white ball cricket.

Normally if I am on holiday I'll be planning a fishing trip or a surfing trip.

I would love to be in quarantine with someone like Quinny de Kock. He is one of my favourite people in the world.

I very rarely get to enjoy doing nothing.

The kind of fishing that I do is pretty much bass, trout or freshwater fishing.

In my opinion Test cricket is the best version of this game. It tests you mentally, physically, emotionally.

It's terrible to consider never playing another Test again but what's more terrifying is the thought of never playing again at all.

I used to be grumpy. I am no more. I am old now. See my grey beards.

I think the more common players who have been around for a while - Joe Root, Alastair Cook, Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad - those guys I know of, they're fantastic players.

I've never been bothered about being the highest wicket-taker in the world or the best South African bowler in the world.

I've never chased records.

As long as I've got that urge and that fight and fire inside of me I'll continue and records will come and records will be broken. But the day I don't feel that kind of stuff I'm happy to walk away.

It might sound very cocky or naive of me, or self-centered, but I want to win a World Cup for my country.

Do I like being No. 1? Absolutely. Who doesn't?

The more 'A' side cricket that can be played, it will keep the fringe of international cricket interested.

I think 'A' sides are extremely important, as close as you can get to international cricket. You are often playing against internationals from different countries and it definitely bridges the gap between our domestic game and international cricket.

When I first started the biggest thing I wanted was for the opposition to acknowledge me.

When I made my one-day debut for South Africa I met some of the Aussies for the first time. We lost the game and when I shook the hands of players I just wanted them to look me in the eye and acknowledge I had competed.

I'm normally quite restrictive in the runs department.

I mean everyone's always spoken about fast bowlers and especially myself as a strike bowler, but I look at myself as somebody who could hold down the runs, you know, over 200 games, I've taken a lot of wickets but I've got a pretty decent economy rate.

South African cricket, we're pretty resilient.

Sport can take a back seat, your health is the most important.

There's so much in favor of batsmen these days. Fields are small, two new balls, powerplays, bats have got bigger than they used to be, the list can go on.

What inspiration will other fast bowlers have if they don't have anybody to inspire them to become fast bowlers.

I don't want a new ball when I am bowling in the subcontinent. I want an old ball that can't get hit out of the ground. I want a ball that when I bowl doesn't have true bounce, so that the batsman can't hit it.

I have never gone into a competition wanting to lose. I have always gone in wanting to win.

If you are playing in the right conditions, there is always motivation to bowl fast. If you are playing in the wrong condition then you want to be a batsman.

I want to play Test cricket until I die, seriously.

I want to bowl fast till I retire.

Pace is the most important thing. That is the one thing that I have had throughout my whole career.

When you're playing against a team like India you're always going to struggle, especially as they bat all the way down the order to No. 9 and 10.

I never want to restrict myself and say I'm at my ultimate peak, I'm always looking to take myself to a higher level.

When I'm running in to bowl, I am always thinking of taking a wicket.

I will play until I can't play anymore.

Traditional cricket has gone out of the window. It's gone. T20 cricket has changed the game.

Form is difficult. You can't predict form, it is up and down for any player.

For me, I need to bowl lots of overs in order to start getting back into form - much like a batsman needs to hit a lot of balls.

Lord's is a special place. I used to love watching games there as a youngster and I've been fortunate enough to play a couple of games there.

World class players don't become rubbish overnight, especially over one tour.

When I bowled to batters like Michael Vaughan or Jacques Kallis who were classical, technically perfect, sound batters, I always found that I could get them out.

Steve Smith is a marvelous player.

We spend on average 220 days of the year out of the country. It's a long time to be away from your family especially when your children are growing up.

Right from the start of my career I was surrounded by people like Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher and Graeme Smith, who gave 100 percent in every performance.

There have been a few times when I wondered if I was ever going to take a wicket, but you never give up.

Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock were my heroes, so I thought averaging 22 or 23 and taking five-wicket hauls was normal.

I enjoy taking wickets more than most people can understand. I'm addicted to that feeling.

From the moment I became an established international cricketer I always had a strong feeling that I should be doing some 'good' while I had that profile, using it to try and make a difference.

I want to be a good cricketer, but I am a person first and a cricketer second. I won't always be a cricketer, but I will always be a person.

I'm lucky because not only do I have the chance to experience the thrill of winning, but I also get to bowl really fast. Those two things are the best feelings in the world, better than any drugs - not that I've tried any.
