A lot of kids can't identify with the things I've done and where I'm from and who I am as an individual. That's why I've tried to be a person and live my life in a way that can be identified by all cultures.

I wanted to be amongst the greats. I wanted to be a Simone Biles, a Michael Phelps, an Ashton Eaton. I wanted to be those guys.

The difference between the greats and the legends is their ability to focus for longer periods of time.

We have a lot of wrestling fans out there just looking for a star to cheer for.

I think every young man's goal is to be a professional athlete, whether it's the NBA, MLB, or the NFL.

I think every athlete is afraid for their career to be over.

If you look at my iPod, I've got so much different music. I think that it kind of describes me as a person, just being a chameleon to whatever particular environment that I'm in.

I listen to a lot of TED talks and motivational speakers.

I'm not afraid to tell people what I hope to accomplish and what I believe I'm capable of. I'm ready to take the backlash if I don't accomplish my dreams.

Discipline, focus, endurance is what it takes to be the greatest at this sport.

I have high expectations for myself - as an athlete, as a man, as an individual - and wrestling has helped me build a lot of character knowing that I have to remain humble but also fight complacency.

It's never too late to be great.

It is not about being the greatest team in the world ever, it is about fighting for every run and wicket.

It's easy to throw mud at coaches because we don't see - nor often understand - everything they do.

I love the individual characters that cricket produces and, more than most other sports, the unlikely heroes.

That is what Test cricket is about, adapting to different conditions around the world.

When you know that batting will be tough, that the ball might move around and your technique will be tested, you have to make sure that you don't give the bowlers any more advantages.

Call me traditional, but Test cricket is the most important thing.

I'm not a huge fan of South Africa. I always feel a bit worried security-wise.

I wish I'd done better for England. I only played three Tests and three One Day internationals. You have to take your chances and, for whatever reason, I didn't.

Rather than influence the media, I hope that my progress from player to correspondent shows that there is a role for former cricketers in the media, despite the intolerant views of some of my colleagues in the press box.

I very rarely watch any television at all.

Being a stepfather is a huge challenge.

Divorce is something I think that children feel particularly hard and what's sad about a lot of divorces, and certainly about my divorce, is that absent fathers who really want to play a part in their children's lives but don't live there, they have a pretty tough time.
