I've never chased records.

I want to bowl fast till I retire.

Steve Smith is a marvelous player.

South African cricket, we're pretty resilient.

In a World Cup you don't have anywhere to hide.

Test matches are what really drive me to perform.

I want to play Test cricket until I die, seriously.

Once I step over that white line I become The Bowler.

I'm normally quite restrictive in the runs department.

I want to keep experimenting and trying to change my game.

Sport can take a back seat, your health is the most important.

I would love to win a trophy for South Africa in white ball cricket.

I used to be grumpy. I am no more. I am old now. See my grey beards.

When I'm running in to bowl, I am always thinking of taking a wicket.

I still don't know why batsmen are taking so much time to figure me out.

If you are just constantly doing the same thing, good batters can adjust.

I have started not to take things too seriously, loving life is my motto.

Form is difficult. You can't predict form, it is up and down for any player.

World class players don't become rubbish overnight, especially over one tour.

When I'm in South Africa, I make it a point to take my dogs out to the beach.

Normally if I am on holiday I'll be planning a fishing trip or a surfing trip.

The kind of fishing that I do is pretty much bass, trout or freshwater fishing.

I have four dogs - Sadi, a Retriever, and Oscar, Ruby and Bella, who are Yorkies.

I don't think age matters. In cricket, if you have the skill, you can go on playing.

If you're not going to the World Cup expecting to win, then you probably shouldn't go.

Conditions are always different here in Durban. Especially different from Johannesburg.

In South Africa, we kind of like looking for things that unite people in big, big groups.

When I first started the biggest thing I wanted was for the opposition to acknowledge me.

I enjoy taking wickets more than most people can understand. I'm addicted to that feeling.

I love playing cricket. I wake up every morning and I can't see myself doing anything else.

When you are in the company of greatness, there is only one thing to do: to raise your game.

Traditional cricket has gone out of the window. It's gone. T20 cricket has changed the game.

AB de Villiers is probably my favorite cricketer, he is an incredible batter and a good friend.

The workload with Test cricket was too much as I want to extend my career for as long as I can.

Pace is the most important thing. That is the one thing that I have had throughout my whole career.

Coaches have plans and structures, and if you're not in those plans you shouldn't take it personally.

There have been a few times when I wondered if I was ever going to take a wicket, but you never give up.

It might sound very cocky or naive of me, or self-centered, but I want to win a World Cup for my country.

The more 'A' side cricket that can be played, it will keep the fringe of international cricket interested.

I would love to bowl 160 km/h. Any fast bowler would love to do that. But for me that is almost impossible.

If you're playing Test cricket you could bowl 20 overs in a day. I could play about five T20s in that space.

In my opinion Test cricket is the best version of this game. It tests you mentally, physically, emotionally.

If you want to bowl a yorker, you have to land it; if you want to bowl a bouncer you have to be on the money.

One of my highlights of being a Proteas player is that at one stage we were the No. 1 team across all formats.

What inspiration will other fast bowlers have if they don't have anybody to inspire them to become fast bowlers.

But I love bowling in India, the grounds are quite flat whereas in South Africa you feel you are running uphill.

If I'm only going to play one more match, I want to take a wicket with every ball, not try and defend a boundary.

I don't know what it is about fast bowling. I guess it's the ability to do something that nobody else can really do.

I never want to restrict myself and say I'm at my ultimate peak, I'm always looking to take myself to a higher level.

With Test cricket, it's very important that you are bowling at high speed but T20 cricket is a great way to be versatile.
