In India, kids need someone to look up to. They've got it in cricket: they have Tendulkar and others.

You can enjoy yourself, but you need to look after yourself as well.

You've got to have a dream... if you don't have any big dreams, nothing happens.

I've got tremendous respect for different cultures, for the food and everything.

Mainly it's the parents who remember me. But the kids today, what they do is go and Google you. A lot of them turn up and they know everything about me. They say: 'You scored 346 goals' or 'You wore the No9 shirt for Liverpool.'

Obviously New Zealand has been playing better cricket than us but we back ourselves, if we perform well, to be very competitive against them.
