I think it's really difficult for women to be involved with sportsmen that travel, or men to be involved with men or women, whoever it may be.

When I am off the field, I am the calm, very quiet kind of easy-sailing ocean, and then when I am on a hot streak with a cricket ball, I can be the most disastrous waters you have ever been in.

Every ball matters - if with the last ball the opposition need four to win, and you've gone for 96, can you get that out of your mind and bowl a dot ball and win the game?

I have four dogs - Sadi, a Retriever, and Oscar, Ruby and Bella, who are Yorkies.

If you want to bowl a yorker, you have to land it; if you want to bowl a bouncer you have to be on the money.

I don't think age matters. In cricket, if you have the skill, you can go on playing.

Once I step over that white line I become The Bowler.

I have started not to take things too seriously, loving life is my motto.

Conditions are always different here in Durban. Especially different from Johannesburg.

That's a beautiful thing about India, they got such a big pool of players to call upon. If somebody gets injured, the replacements are generally pretty good.

Generally I don't say too much on the field. However, I am a fast bowler and with that comes the responsibility of saying a word or two and getting in a guy's face.

I come across as quite aggressive and quite in people's faces and everything like that, but I know where to draw the line.

I don't know what it is about fast bowling. I guess it's the ability to do something that nobody else can really do.

Test matches are what really drive me to perform.

Someone like Shane Warne played the game on and off the field really well and got into guys' heads. Even though he couldn't bounce you and hurt you physically, he was verbally aggressive and would let you know he'd get you out. He made batsmen doubt themselves. I learned from players like him and made a point of incorporating it into my own game.

It's important to get under your opponent's skin and let them know that you are coming for them out in the middle. When you do that, half the battle's won!

I would love to win a trophy for South Africa in white ball cricket.

Normally if I am on holiday I'll be planning a fishing trip or a surfing trip.

I would love to be in quarantine with someone like Quinny de Kock. He is one of my favourite people in the world.

I very rarely get to enjoy doing nothing.

The kind of fishing that I do is pretty much bass, trout or freshwater fishing.

In my opinion Test cricket is the best version of this game. It tests you mentally, physically, emotionally.

It's terrible to consider never playing another Test again but what's more terrifying is the thought of never playing again at all.

I used to be grumpy. I am no more. I am old now. See my grey beards.

I think the more common players who have been around for a while - Joe Root, Alastair Cook, Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad - those guys I know of, they're fantastic players.

I've never been bothered about being the highest wicket-taker in the world or the best South African bowler in the world.

I've never chased records.

As long as I've got that urge and that fight and fire inside of me I'll continue and records will come and records will be broken. But the day I don't feel that kind of stuff I'm happy to walk away.

It might sound very cocky or naive of me, or self-centered, but I want to win a World Cup for my country.

Do I like being No. 1? Absolutely. Who doesn't?

The more 'A' side cricket that can be played, it will keep the fringe of international cricket interested.

I think 'A' sides are extremely important, as close as you can get to international cricket. You are often playing against internationals from different countries and it definitely bridges the gap between our domestic game and international cricket.

When I first started the biggest thing I wanted was for the opposition to acknowledge me.

When I made my one-day debut for South Africa I met some of the Aussies for the first time. We lost the game and when I shook the hands of players I just wanted them to look me in the eye and acknowledge I had competed.

I'm normally quite restrictive in the runs department.

I mean everyone's always spoken about fast bowlers and especially myself as a strike bowler, but I look at myself as somebody who could hold down the runs, you know, over 200 games, I've taken a lot of wickets but I've got a pretty decent economy rate.

South African cricket, we're pretty resilient.

Sport can take a back seat, your health is the most important.

There's so much in favor of batsmen these days. Fields are small, two new balls, powerplays, bats have got bigger than they used to be, the list can go on.

What inspiration will other fast bowlers have if they don't have anybody to inspire them to become fast bowlers.

I don't want a new ball when I am bowling in the subcontinent. I want an old ball that can't get hit out of the ground. I want a ball that when I bowl doesn't have true bounce, so that the batsman can't hit it.

I have never gone into a competition wanting to lose. I have always gone in wanting to win.

If you are playing in the right conditions, there is always motivation to bowl fast. If you are playing in the wrong condition then you want to be a batsman.

I want to play Test cricket until I die, seriously.

I want to bowl fast till I retire.

Pace is the most important thing. That is the one thing that I have had throughout my whole career.

When you're playing against a team like India you're always going to struggle, especially as they bat all the way down the order to No. 9 and 10.

I never want to restrict myself and say I'm at my ultimate peak, I'm always looking to take myself to a higher level.

When I'm running in to bowl, I am always thinking of taking a wicket.

I will play until I can't play anymore.
