It's when the runs are not coming that even the minutest of flaws are viewed under the microscope. You look into your game and try to pick every single thing you can improve about it. At the end of it, you emerge as a better player than you were.

I now have a better understanding of my game than what it was in 2013 in my first year in Test cricket.

People can be critical about your game, but no one knows better than the player as to what he needs.

I enjoy the company of overseas people. It's always good learning.

I had a meeting a while back with a big group of women - actors and producers and writers - who are all ethnic minorities and we just aired what we thought was happening and why, and someone said that, as a black or mixed race actress, you feel like you're renting space instead of carving out a career. But I'm just going to get on with it.

No babies for me until I'm in my 30s! I'm focused on my career right now. I can't even take care of my dog.

I spent the first 18 years of my career at AT&T, and it was a wonderful place that kept me moving all the time. I mean, I started off as entry level a position as you can get at AT&T.

I loved being a student more than being in school. I was kind of the nerd type; I was more into my career and my studies than the dances and being popular.
