In the game of cricket, a hero is a person who respects the game and does not corrupt the game. The one who doesn't or corrupts the game, they are the villain. They should be punished, and they have been punished in the past.

I feel really blessed when people start comparing me with Sachin, but I keep myself focused on my performance and not on such comparisons. I literally worship him, so I don't see too much in this comparison. No cricketer has been able to score one hundred centuries like Sachin.

Endorsements are a reward for good performance on the field, and the commitments made after signing them need to be done.

No cricket team in the world depends on one or two players. The team always plays to win.

When I spent time with my father, it wasn't playing ball in the back yard. I came to his office and listened to him do business or sat in on meetings. I walked job sites. On Saturday, we'd see my grandfather in Queens for a couple hours, and then he'd say, 'Let's go collect rent!'

You've got to build a career and a practice.

I started my career at 'Star Trek,' and that had a huge, very vocal fan base.

I do love being solo because I can have more of my own creative input to every aspect of my career.
