I have started not to take things too seriously, loving life is my motto.

Once I step over that white line I become The Bowler.

I don't think age matters. In cricket, if you have the skill, you can go on playing.

If you want to bowl a yorker, you have to land it; if you want to bowl a bouncer you have to be on the money.

I have four dogs - Sadi, a Retriever, and Oscar, Ruby and Bella, who are Yorkies.

Every ball matters - if with the last ball the opposition need four to win, and you've gone for 96, can you get that out of your mind and bowl a dot ball and win the game?

When I am off the field, I am the calm, very quiet kind of easy-sailing ocean, and then when I am on a hot streak with a cricket ball, I can be the most disastrous waters you have ever been in.

I think it's really difficult for women to be involved with sportsmen that travel, or men to be involved with men or women, whoever it may be.

Kobe was a legend.

No matter what you've been through or what's going on ahead, a fresh start's always good.

Any rumor you can think of, I've been a part of it.

I've always been a guy that, I don't know, just attacks pressure.

People want to be Lakers. There's just so much pressure, and some guys handle it and some guys can't.

My dad is one of the smartest guys I know.

Going around the league, people know, 'Oh, he got in some trouble' or 'He didn't play well his rookie year' or 'He's a bust.' That's the headline. I'm going to have a million more opportunities to create new headlines, and I can't wait. Can't wait.

I'm happy that I got an All-Star under my belt.

I'm addicted to showing people what they don't get to see, as far as the everyday lifestyle of an NBA player.

I really don't know what it takes to make it to the playoffs.

I'm not going out of my way to eat something that's not prepared for me.

I didn't know what it meant or what it took to be healthy and be prepared for 82-plus games... Injuries come with sports. I know that. But you can be prepared, get your body as prepared as it can be through practice and weights.

I've always been my own guy.

Coach Matta recruited me the best, I had a close relationship with him immediately and I saw a great opportunity at Ohio State. Sometimes it's just that simple.

I always prided myself in being different.

After any game you're going to get the love, the hate: That's just what comes with being a professional athlete.
