Obviously, you want to get big runs. But then, as a captain, you want to play on result-oriented wickets.

I made it pretty clear that if I'm captain, the best team has to play.

I was captain of Wales; I've been captain of numerous football clubs.

You don't have to be captain to have an opinion.

I think I approached 'Captain Phillips' as I would any project. I always try to understand the story, characters, and themes as deeply as possible and then work as hard as I can to make those things come to life.

I was captain in Atletico at 19, playing in the same team as Demetrio Albertini, who won three Champions Leagues, and Sergi Barjuan from Barcelona, who had won everything, and they were 32, 33. I was a kid as captain, so I wasn't the real captain, just a kid learning from them.

I auditioned for soap operas and commercials; I remember auditioning for Lays potato chips. It was a sort of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' sketch, where Captain Bligh was torturing the crew by saying, 'You can only have one Lays potato chip,' and they all rise up.

But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.

To captain your team to promotion in one of the most gruelling leagues in the world is right up there, it goes very high on my list. It's something I'm immensely proud of - I don't think it quite sinks in.

I guess that compared to other comic strips, I'm edgy. But put me along something like 'South Park,' and I'm 'Captain Kangaroo.'

I've played under Alan Pardew, Gianfranco Zola, Avram Grant, Sam Allardyce, Alan Curbishley and Slaven's made me captain.

During my time as England captain I have always been both helpful and direct in my communications with the ECB.

I've never been a captain of a team. But people always listen just because of my work ethic.

I like it when the captain comes to me and says, 'We're really desperate for a wicket, can you get us one?' or when we really need something to happen in a Test match.

Captain Jack Sparrow is like a cross between Keith Richards and Pepe Le Pew.

Above all, I want to captain England in more Test victories than anybody else.

Captain Britain is not about representing an empire, he's about standing up for everyone and fighting for the betterment of all.

I want to be the guy the captain can trust.

I think you need to be a leader, not a captain. You may have seen a lot of captains in this country, but the most important thing is to be a leader.

The biggest learning during my tenure as a captain was that, a lot of time, I used to think that this is common sense. But no, there is nothing called common sense.
