I'm a good Muslim and I'm only interested in Islam.

I love the Americans. They are my best friends.

Sometimes people mistake the way I talk for what I am thinking.

I was a good soldier in the British Army. I was born in a very, very poor family. And I enlisted to escape hunger. But my officers were Scottish and they loved me. The Scots are good, you know.

I let the game come to me. I just try to read plays. I don't like taking bad shots. I want the best shot for the team.

Sport is healthy, but it can be the opposite of that at the top level. You have so many injuries; you put your body through so much. You wake up at 2 in the morning, and you cannot move.

I believe that I will represent this sport in the best light possible. I won't mess it up. I won't get myself in any trouble.

I am a well-spoken, educated person, and I'm also an extremely accomplished athlete. For me, it's disrespect and a slap in the face when people say I broke a mold as champion or I don't fit as champion.
