I wanted to prove that a young boy coming from Africa was able to succeed and achieve a lot.

When I was growing up, I thought everything was a life of friendship, respect, and sharing. But I discovered that unfortunately, you have people who aren't behaving in the same way but have hatred.

All my coaches will tell you that I am a great professional.

I've been a role model in terms of discipline, and I have always been rigorous and professional.

Twenty20 is cricket on speed. In an era of hectic lifestyles and falling attention spans, it gives spectators more drama and intensity in three hours that they would get from a whole-day match. And even though it is a heady cocktail of money, entertainment and media, at its core it is cricket.

I think television's become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television.

I think money is due for some sort of collapse. People are going to realize that money has a half-life, like radioactive elements.

I have no proper money to invest!
