Winston Churchill would be great to have around the table.

I watched children dying. That will be the image that will stay with me.

To win in Australia, for me, has to be the ultimate success because the Aussies live for sport.

If you can change three lives in 10, three lives in a hundred, that's got to be good, hasn't it?

Winston Churchill would be great to have around the table.

I half knew what to expect when I saw the cricket ground in the morning. It was when I started to talk to people working out there, I began to find what I was looking for.

Genghis Khan was a fascinating man and way ahead of his time.

There will be no politics, no ifs and buts; if we see something and feel that work needs to be done, we will get people here we can rely on and ensure it is done in the same thorough way as our other projects.

I can remember running around at the age of 3, wanting to play golf, cricket and football. I was always active, one way or another, driving my parents mad.

The resilience of these people is amazing. I am a great believer that the sooner we get things up and running in terms of sport in this area, the better.

What's happened has happened, so what can we do to make it better for tomorrow and the day after? That's why we're here.

I think I'd struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming.

I think we are going to see exciting cricket all the way. We are watching the two best teams in the world-and I think England will eventually go on to pip Australia by a single Test.

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

Sport can bring communities together and can release a lot of pent-up emotions.

You will attract the younger generation and they might well prove tougher than the older generation. What we are trying to do is to look at the future and see what we can do to bring some stability back to people's lives.

I'm not a great one for looking back.

Retiring for good wasn't difficult. I knew at the time it was right. I was no longer capable of achieving the standards I'd set myself and there was no light at the end of the tunnel.

The people in the villages had turned in on themselves. You can understand it. When you have a bad day on the field, what do you do? Talk to your teammates.

There is nothing more exciting in sport when the top two countries in the world are battling for the Ashes.

Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested, Crystal Palace being one, but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.

Cricket is full of theorists who can ruin your game in no time.

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing.

Dogs are a window on the natural world.

I feel an intense intimacy with those who have this loathing interest in me. Further than this, I know what they mean, I sympathize with them, I understand them. There should be a name (as poetic as love) for this relationship between loather and loathed; it is of the closest and more full of passion than incest.

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere

Pakistani prisoners are safe in Indian jails. We are a responsible government.

The whole is greater than the sum of the parts

You really have to do something Bruce Banner-like to me to cause me to go into my righteous indignation mode.

Biceps for show, triceps for go.

It is hard to describe the thrill of creative joy which the artist feels when the conviction seizes her that at last she has caught the very soul of the character she wishes to portray, in the music and action which reveal it.

Today when we say the West we are already referring to the West and to Russia. We could use the word "modernity" if we exclude Africa, and the Islamic world, and partially China.

I always said it was to be dumb enough to do what Marlon Perkins said to do.

Seeds carry life from generation to generation without end. Through the seeds speak the voices of the ancestors. Each time we plant a seed, we become ancestors for the generations to come.

I don't rise to the occasion unless I'm really moved.

I was never considered cool throughout my teens: a very important time to be accepted by someone, especially your peers. Yes, I had all the screaming women, but the guys hated my guts.

It has always been a dream of mine to put a play on film.

I like to work for a while, and then do nothing for some period.

If you make a record, you should ask yourself, 'Did it make someone cry, in a good way, not a bad way?' There should almost be subjective emotional criteria for evaluating work, instead of just profitability.

Because of the increase in life longevity, America can now assume that at any given time three, and perhaps four, former presidents will still be alive, even when the current president is occupying the White House.

If it isn't necessary I would rather not subject my skin to too much, so if I don't have anything special to do for the day, I try not to wear any make up.

To live for a principle, for the triumph of some reform by which all mankind are to be lifted up to be wedded to an idea may be, after all, the holiest and happiest of marriages.

I am strong and powerful.

If you want to go on the floor, go in disguise because otherwise you won't be able to. I would just put on a full Darth Vader costume and walk through Comic-Con so I can actually check it out and enjoy it as opposed to being approached by everyone, which is lovely, but it gets very difficult to enjoy because there's so many people there.

If you're not growing, you're dying, and I'm not ready for that.

Nothing good comes cheaply so we shouldn't be surprised when we meet the hard while going for the best. Hard times are not quit times.

There's no drama like wrestling.
