Coaches have plans and structures, and if you're not in those plans you shouldn't take it personally.

Great fast bowlers don't have to worry about whether the track is flat or green. They'll find a way to get wickets.

In a World Cup you don't have anywhere to hide.

I could bowl really fast and as the years went on I started to develop more skills - I learnt how to swing the ball a little bit, use the crease a little bit more. But I knew what my skill was and that was to run in and bowl fast.

You got to be street smart I suppose when you bowl in India. You can't bowl at the same pace at the same place. Guys will work you out.

In South Africa, you can get away sometimes because of the bounce. You may get away with full wide balls. In India, it does not bounce and finds the middle of the bat and goes flying to point or extra cover for four.

If you're playing Test cricket you could bowl 20 overs in a day. I could play about five T20s in that space.

As long as that drive is still there to play at the highest level, to get batters out, fox them and outsmart them and that kind of stuff, if I can do that I'm going to continue to do that.

If I'm only going to play one more match, I want to take a wicket with every ball, not try and defend a boundary.

I want to keep experimenting and trying to change my game.

I love playing cricket. I wake up every morning and I can't see myself doing anything else.

The workload with Test cricket was too much as I want to extend my career for as long as I can.

When you don't have sport, it's like, oh, what do we fall back onto? And I think Nelson Mandela was the first person to really say that: sport unites people in a way that nothing else does. And if you take sport away, then I don't know really what we have.

In South Africa, we kind of like looking for things that unite people in big, big groups.

AB de Villiers is probably my favorite cricketer, he is an incredible batter and a good friend.

If you're not going to the World Cup expecting to win, then you probably shouldn't go.

With my work schedule, it's difficult for me to spend quality time with my dogs. But whenever I'm home, I make it a point to spend as much time as possible with my dogs.

When I'm in South Africa, I make it a point to take my dogs out to the beach.

I still don't know why batsmen are taking so much time to figure me out.

I love winning. Maybe it's more that I hate losing?

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.

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.

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