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

With my work schedule, it's difficult for me to spend quality time with my dogs. But whenever I'm home, I make it a point to spend as much time as possible with my dogs.

As long as that drive is still there to play at the highest level, to get batters out, fox them and outsmart them and that kind of stuff, if I can do that I'm going to continue to do that.

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.

I want to bowl fast till I retire.

When I made my one-day debut for South Africa I met some of the Aussies for the first time. We lost the game and when I shook the hands of players I just wanted them to look me in the eye and acknowledge I had competed.

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.

I love winning. Maybe it's more that I hate losing?

I'm normally quite restrictive in the runs department.

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

In South Africa, you can get away sometimes because of the bounce. You may get away with full wide balls. In India, it does not bounce and finds the middle of the bat and goes flying to point or extra cover for four.

I'm lucky because not only do I have the chance to experience the thrill of winning, but I also get to bowl really fast. Those two things are the best feelings in the world, better than any drugs - not that I've tried any.

I would love to be in quarantine with someone like Quinny de Kock. He is one of my favourite people in the world.

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

Every ball matters - if with the last ball the opposition need four to win, and you've gone for 96, can you get that out of your mind and bowl a dot ball and win the game?

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

I have never gone into a competition wanting to lose. I have always gone in wanting to win.

I think 'A' sides are extremely important, as close as you can get to international cricket. You are often playing against internationals from different countries and it definitely bridges the gap between our domestic game and international cricket.

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.
