I long to embrace, to include in my own short life, all that is accessible to man. I long to speak, to read, to wield a hammer in a great factory, to keep watch at sea, to plow. I want to be walking along the Nevsky Prospect, or in the open fields, o...
When I write short fiction or novellas, I like to leave a hint of the fantastic, of the unreal. If you write a completely fantastic novel with ghosts and everything, the effect is less powerful than if you portray an absolutely realistic situation an...
I have always believed that a trademark is the life of an enterprise and that it must be protected boldly. A trademark and a company name are not just clever gimmicks-they carry responsibility and guarantee the quality of the product. If someone trie...
I think when you're 17 and you're angry, you're angry about very short-term things. And there's nothing wrong about writing that record. It's a very real record to write; it's the realest record I could write when I was 17. The problem is, when you'r...
What I am in the eyes of most people - a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person - somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then - even if that were absolutely true, then I shou...
I wasn't sure of the exact mindset you should have when you go into a Test match. So I probably became too defensive when I played my first Test match. Short balls in one-day cricket, I have never thought of just defending.
I am short, so even if there are things that I like, or like on other people, I have to be aware that sometimes that won't work on me because I'm not 5'10. It has to have a shape for my body; otherwise, I look like I am two inches tall. I have to wea...
Growing up, in my under-15 days I used to be a wicketkeeper, and that carried on till I was 17. Then I started focusing on my batting and moved on. I got into the Ranji team quite early, and generally, as a youngster, the first place you are put in i...
If time is money, how much is a lifetime?
Time? No, let's not rush to it out of frustration. It'll be time when it's time.
Night time really is the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone is asleep.
Television is what it's always been. The best of times and the worst of times at the same time.
To me, it's very important to have time at the restaurant but also time with family and time for myself.
Half the time men think they are talking business, they are wasting time.
The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have.
I don't want to miss out on the chance of having a good time.
Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.
This play is truly a great invention, and we're having a great time doing it eight times a week.
I had a great time doing Vegas. It's just that it takes a lot of time.
Clock watchers never seem to be having a good time.
If you're not really having a good time, it's not worth it.
