I've always said the game owes me nothing, I owe it everything. I'm thankful I've been able to play it for so long.Collection: Thankful
I think the word respect is underrated.Collection: Respect
Respecting every individual is very important. It starts with respecting elders regardless of profession.
Every day I'm getting out of bed and trying to become a better player, a better person.
You've got to accept in this game that there are going to be tough times.
Your greatest strength can be your greatest weakness.
I'm a bit different from your average cricketer.
I've never been comfortable with fame and I never will be.
Mate, I don't care about race or colour or sexuality.
I've had three young children close to me - my nephew, niece and my god-daughter - born into the world needing life-saving machines to help them survive.
I think cricket is generally known as a very old and traditional sport.
Hublot has always been happy to be different, unique and they want to be the first to do things - and they certainly have done that when it comes to cricket.
The things that made me were the highs and the lows - that's what made me the cricketer I was when I retired. And the lows do a lot to give you a real kick up the backside in making sure you never take things for granted.
When I look back, I don't know how to put into words how much I owe the game of cricket - it changed my life, made my life and helped mould me into the man I am today.
There's a lot of similarities with everything I try to do with my cricket - it's no different now to my business. You want to be as good as you possibly can. You get out of bed every day to try to become better. The same applies with Hublot - they want to be the first to achieve things.
I don't want to see the Australian players not focus on their preparation and training.
Guys only really have watches and cars as show pieces, and that's why so many men love their watches - it's our show piece, it's our style. And what I like especially about Hublot is the variety.
I remember the 2015 World Cup looking up at the scoreboard and seeing that big Hublot sign and that clock and I just think it's a real compliment to the game of cricket.
I don't give my body the chance to stop and do nothing, just in case it likes it too much. I train five days a week, minimum once a day.
I'm a very organised guy.
I'm never late.
I always know in advance what I've got coming up. Preparation's important to me - it helps my performance.
People reckon I'm a show pony but I like to look good. And when I'm not living and breathing cricket, I'd much rather drive a fast car or go shopping for clothes than play golf or go fishing.
My dream was to play cricket for Australia. I knew nothing about celebrity until I got stuck with being one.
I've always cared that you're comfortable in what you're wearing.
I think what I love most about the brand of Hublot - obviously the quality of watches speak for themselves - but the brand is always trying to get better.
I think whoever wins the World Cup deserves the right to be named the number one-one day team in the world.
I think integrity is underrated.
We always talk about single mothers; the challenges they face. But the single father faces challenges as well.
As a parent, I'm absolutely no different to any other father.
The people who know me know I'm extremely private or try and be as private as I can with my personal life.
The hardest batsman to get out. I think Sachin, technically, didn't have a weakness.
What Kohli and Tendulkar have in common is they love making big hundreds.
I was lucky enough to play with some great batsman - Matthew Hayden, Steve Smith, David Warner, Adam Gilchrist, Damien Martyn who was a genius.
Sangakkara was a force and an absolute gentleman of the game.
I never dreamt of captaining Australia. I couldn't care less if I captained Australia or not.
What people don't understand is... because I became captain of Australia, I have no say in who gets a contract. Simon Katich was not dropped from a team when I was captain of Australia or when I was a selector.
One-day cricket is about the World Cup and Test cricket is about the Ashes.
You build yourself up for the big series, the big tournaments.
I've been lucky enough to play over 100 Test matches for Australia.
The way I've been brought up to play cricket, the captain has always taken accountability for success and defeat.
These one-dayers and these Twenty20s is where Virat Kohli can really stand up and lead from the front.
I think I'm extremely lucky to have been able to go through a separation with the mother of my child and us still be great friends.
I've never been able to comprehend why people are interested in my personal life, cause I'm not like that.
I'm not going to buy a magazine to read about Denzel Washington's personal life.
I certainly feel like I've got the support and respect as a player because I've played a lot of international cricket.
I've said openly I'd love to take part in the IPL at some stage.
I'd love to play in the Big Bash at some stage.
I don't want to miss any game for Australia.
I don't want to be restricted in where I field and how I field.
