Andrew Flintoff

I like being out on the cricket field and performing and playing in front of a crowd. I find it quite tricky when there are press photographers outside my house. It's all very bizarre.

I would like to be as successful as Ian Botham was, but if I'm doing anything, I'm doing it as myself.

If I get runs in an entertaining fashion, then great. I like to get on top of bowlers and be aggressive. I don't want to be dominated by them. Hopefully people enjoy the way I play.

I'll be fine, and suddenly I'll feel the depression coming on. It can start with the smallest thing.

Big things, a real crisis, I think I'm pretty good, but this little thing will just wallop me. I think I'm managing depression better now: when the mood comes, I just try and sit it out.

I actually love the Discovery Channel.

I took my wife to a really expensive hotel in Dubai. This was when we were first dating, so I wanted to impress her. I had scallops, and after that, I went to the bathroom to be sick. I realised I had just paid £300 or £400 on scallops just to throw it up. My wife and I then talked about it; I knew I had a problem."

I've seen material competitiveness destroy relationships in dressing rooms. People end up worrying about what someone else is earning and whether they're missing out.

Now, I have a confession to make. I hate warm-ups with a passion. Worst part of the whole day. Nonsense, they are.

Top Gear' is one of those shows that you'd love to do.

I was great mates with Muttiah Muralitharan, dating back to the days when we both played together at Lancashire.

I love music more than I love sport.
