Shane Warne

I can 100 percent tell you that I have not gone under the surgeon's knife or had a facelift.

The first thing is to be patient, which is probably the hardest thing to do. Don't worry if blokes are whacking you out of the park because you still have the opportunity to get him out next ball, even if it's not the same ball.

The wickets I have played on for my whole career, most of them have been to suit fast bowlers in Australia.

We played well in Kenya. We didn't lose a game and we bowled Pakistan out for 100 twice. We don't need to change much from that for this tournament.

We've just got to be careful - with all sports, let alone cricket - I think there's so much emphasis on doing the right thing all the time, but I think the public want to be entertained when they come to watch sport.

I also think there's too many players who say the same boring answers, they don't even have to turn up to interviews because journalists answer their own questions the way they ask them. Unfortunately the way it is now players are so afraid to say anything, but I'd like them to be honest.

The IPL is just pure, intense. You don't need all the other stuff. I don't believe in coaches in international cricket.

There are a lot more tabloids in England that like to report other things in your life, some of which are true and some of which are exaggerated and untrue. There have been stories where people claim to have seen me in one place and I wasn't even in that city then. The Aussie press is more judgmental and moralistic.

I'm proud of what I've achieved in cricket, as once I didn't think I was good enough.

My only problem is the fear that opposition bowlers might go for my fingers and that's why I was scared of the short ball. Now I am struggling with the ball pitching up and swinging away. I just keep nicking that one.

I have always tried to move on from disappointments as fast as I can.

If you ask anyone around the cricket grounds, they will say I always sign loads of autographs and thank the ladies for lunch and try to behave in the right way.

I am no dummy, mate, that's for sure.

The problem is there's still a big kid inside me who likes to have fun. I am passionate about my cricket and I love my family, but I'm also a kid and maybe I need to grow up... And maybe I don't.

Being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling.

I still eat pizzas, I still like pies, I still have spaghetti hoops for breakfast... but it's in moderation now.

I have a responsibility to my children to be fit and healthy.

I'm fitter than I've ever been, I'm actually very, very healthy and I'm happy.

I just play because I love playing and I try and take as many wickets as I can.

To me, cricket is a simple game. Keep it simple and just go out and play.

You can't afford to live your life with regrets.

I think when two people get together, their past is their past. Their reputations are reputations. You can only take someone the way you find them... on face value.

Four hundred wickets is 400 more than I thought I'd get.

The public want to see people play an exciting brand of cricket.

With Australians we're saying we're going to win before we start playing and pretty much keep on saying that.
