I've told the guys to keep their heads up. I really believe we played a great game here.

It's a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It's been passed down through the generations. It's the culture of the Australian team.

It's nice to put your hand up and do the big things the team requires of you.

It's always good to win a Test match and if you win it comfortably, it can leave a few psychological marks on opposition sides.

We knew that if we had to win the World Cup, the defensive side of the game had to be better, which means bowlers will have to bowl tight and we will have to field better.

It was a long, hard, tough day. We managed to just sneak through, it was an unbelievable Test match.

I've told the guys to keep their heads up. I really believe we played a great game here.

I had big shoes to fill, but the way we have been playing has made the transition easy.

We have played so well that the guys have really made my job fairly easy.

Every decision you make in life, not just on the sporting field - a lot of time and energy goes into it. You think things through before you make decisions and you always think the decision you make at the time is going to be the right one.

How much golf I actually play depends on whom you ask. My wife says I'm out there every day. If you ask me, the cricket is getting in the way of the golf.

I know when I've been playing a lot of golf it takes me a while to get back into cricket again. It's not so much the different shape of the swings, more the fact that you are stationary when you hit a golf ball. In cricket you have to move forward or back, which is an instinctive timing thing.

I think any time you lose an Ashes series, especially with the hype and build-up surrounding it and the pride we have as Australians playing against England, that's always hard to take.

I want to be a dad, first and foremost. I want to be a good father. I've spent so much of my life on the move and travelling around the world that just to set up a home for my family and be a good dad is something that motivates me.

I was always fiercely determined and driven to succeed.

The Test cricket weve played over the last few weeks has been of a very high standard.

I'd love to return to theater.

It is as if the first diviner of absinthe had been indeed a magician intent upon a combination of sacred drugs which should cleanse, fortify and perfume the human soul.

Love has never failed. It has won every battle. And today and forever more it will go on undefeated. I'm also a very loving person.

The Few assume to be the deputies, but they are often only the despoilers of the Many.

It couldn't have been more nerdy or bizarre, playing the clarinet. But I studied classical clarinet, went to the high school for music and art in New York City, and then found the guitar and the mandolin after it.

I love playing the vamp, and I get sent out for a lot of that stuff, maybe because I do it well.

I think it is necessary to sit down and work for years and years to get it right. I think that's the main thing, that's what the emphasis has got to be on: individual work.

I have to think of the positive; that's how I cope.

I think my soul is intact, but my methods of reaching people are completely different.

When one lifts a ballerina it is not her weight but her nature that causes the problem.

Our nest eggs, no matter how small, are safe.

I was raised on the Internet.

I love nothing more than to perform my songs in front of a live audience. And whatever I'm doing is driven toward finding or writing songs and putting out hit songs that drive people coming to see me live. Because, at the end of the day, that's what I enjoy the most.

We shot 'High School Musical' in eight weeks. I spent longer rehearsing for 'Hairspray' than filming 'High School Musical'.

Gay culture is surviving and thriving. Some activists believe the recent rise in homophobic violence might be a gauge of the success of positive gay images.

I have an Internet radio show where people can call in for healing.

I consider myself sort of like a pseudo lawyer. Like, I'm convinced I can solve every case and argue my way.

I got a job as soon as I graduated from school. I always wanted to bartend because I love listening to people and how awful their lives are.

The human brain has evolved the capacity to impose a narrative, complete with chronology and cause-and-effect logic, on whatever it encounters, no matter how apparently random.

I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be treated differently because of the color of my skin.

There is a wealth of twentieth century music that is being re-discovered by a generation that hasn't heard it.

I am also really into religious artifacts.

CBS's Ed Murrow may have been over-celebrated as the principled observer for the masses, fair yet unafraid to take on the bullies.

From the beginning, our community has been focused on people outside of Christianity. But that emphasis means that a lot of hard work is represented in every person who is baptized.
