I don't want to live on my past performances and say that I did well then.

When you play for your country, you remember all your performances, starting from the Under-19 days.

Competition is always good.

I used to be short-tempered on the field when it came to winning or losing.

Although it hath pleased God to hasten my death by you, by whom my life should rather have been lengthened, yet can I patiently take it, that I yield God more hearty thanks for shortening my woeful days.

It may be, for one reason or another, if I'm not able to work, that would be a cause for distress. But I'm still pitching. Thank God, I'm still in possession of my gift. And I have the love of my family.

I am half Scottish. My father is an expat from Glasgow, and on my mother's side there's a bit of French, a bit of Scottish, a bit of Irish.

For my own family, I would always choose the makeshift, surrogate family formed by various characters unrelated by blood.
