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

Irrespective of any political party, I am a supporter of good people who want to do something for the society.

The hunger to win must not die. The appetite has to remain big.

Try and understand: cricket was played by Commonwealth countries only; now it has started in other countries as well, and I am proud of that.

When I was a boy, cricket was very, very English. Anyone who spoke English and anyone from a big town could play. And that was it.

Spirituality lies in what you do and how you do it and not what result you get.

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 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.

God has never made a mistake. Ever.

A golfer should never make a mental mistake because the ball is just sitting there waiting for you to hit it.

If you are afraid of making mistakes, you won’t learn anything and you won’t make much money.

How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we’d profit from them.

One of the great things about being willing to try new things and make mistakes is that making mistakes keeps you humble. People who are humble learn more than people who are arrogant.

With all our horrors and faults, somewhere in us there is a shining.

It’s not who was right or who was wrong when a mistake was made. It’s about who learned from it.

I have made a lot of mistakes, but I am proud of them all.
