“It isn’t easy being a celebrity cricketer in India.”

People never expected a boy from a small town to have a life like I did.

The next generation has always been and will be better than the previous one. If it is not, then the world would not be moving forward.

Maybe a day will come when we may have to just put on a pair of glasses and see sports events.

As a sportsman, my aim was to help sportspersons grow. The idea is to see what is good for sport rather than what’s good for individuals.

Let me clarify it through the national news agency that I am not joining Aam Aadmi Party. There has been reports that I will be officially joining AAP, but I can assure you that nothing of that sort is happening.

If you play good cricket, a lot of bad things get hidden.

I don’t look into negative things. Go past mistakes and look forward.

I feel that World Cup cricket should be played like football in which all the 160 countries take part. If only a handful of countries are going to keep on playing in the World Cup without making the game popular, I will be a sad man.

I wasn’t a ladies’ man.

Fast bowling is an art, like spin bowling.

The biggest test for any cricketer in England is the weather.

I, as a cricketer, would like to see 100 counties playing top-flight cricket, just like tennis and football. If I am alive to see that, I will be very happy.

If I can teach cricket overseas, why wouldn’t I do so in my own country?

All you have to do is to dream big and try to fulfil it.

Sports should not become routine. It should be about passion.

Virat Kohli has so far shown that he has more ability and talent than anybody else, and if he can play till 32 or 34 with same fitness and without injuries, he will come to a point where not even Vivian Richards neither Sachin Tendulkar had such a record.

I like Stallone, because he writes. He sits down with a blank page and comes up with another Rambo movie. That isn’t very easy for anybody. He’s made it successful on top of that.

If it was easy we’d all make it.

Come let us be friends for once. Let us make life easy on us. Let us be loved ones and lovers. The earth shall be left to no one.

Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don’t get that laugh, there’s something wrong.

I had a very easy time loving an audience. But when it’s one-on-one with somebody, all I wanted to do was run away, because maybe they’re going to want something from me I can’t give, or they’re going to hurt me.

Anyone should be very suspicious of a sentence he’s written that can’t be read aloud easily.

Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing? Nothing that has meaning is easy,”Easy” doesn’t enter into grown-up life.

Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done.
