“You don't have to be brought up in a grand house to have a sense of the past, and I truly believe that there are certain people to whom or through whom the territory - the place, the past - speaks.”

“I strike up conversations all the time and it is very interesting, finding out about things I know nothing about.”

“I don't believe necessarily the past is in the past. It's eternal, it's all around us.”

“I was brought up to always see the glass half full instead of half empty and played my cricket that way.”

“Because of all the various people who've come in and out and brought along ideas, I've been on a learning curve throughout all these years. Of course, everyone that's been involved has influenced me as well. And I'm grateful for that.”

“Great keepers and centre-backs were what the English were brought up on.”
