But there is no danger of my not concentrating on cricket. I'm comfortable on the pitch, and that will never change. I have to remember what I do for a living

I'm not someone who needs to bat and bat to be in form.

I like to think I'm calm. Sometimes I have arrived at the ground in the morning in a bad mood - you're not always going to be in the best of moods are you? - but by the time you get into the ground and you have a brew then it's normally fine.

I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to facing Brett Lee again. He bowls at 95mph so enjoyment is not the word I would use.

I'm not too good with packing. I always have every intention of doing it the week before and then leave it until the last moment - but at least I do it myself, I don't leave it to the missus.

In the past five weeks I've trained hard, trying to get my ankle back to where I want it to be

While I'm at second slip I'm not just thinking of what I'm going to have for tea. I'm considering the match as well, wondering how I can help, if there is anything I can offer.

I'm completely different from Pietersen. He would turn up to the opening of an envelope

I don't play for money. I'm not sure I even can play just for money. Money is great; I can't lie about that.

I worked behind the record counter at Woolworths when I was 16. It was when Oasis' 'Definitely Maybe' came out and The Verve were getting big. I'd have probably worked my way up to store manager if I'd have stuck around.

I won some winners' medals with Lancashire - a NatWest trophy and a couple of Sunday Leagues.

As a cricketer, I played on bravado and character. My personality was bound up with how I played the game.

Andrew Flintoff 84 quotes

I don't suck up to anyone or ...

I don't suck up to anyone or do any of that. I point-blank refuse. I just hate it.

Andrew Flintoff 84 quotes

I remember, when Paul Colling...

I remember, when Paul Collingwood first came into the dressing room, we did everything together. We practised together, trained together, had dinner together; we batted together and did well in games together - we were thick as thieves. When he got established, he just binned me.

Andrew Flintoff 84 quotes

They're strange, the Aussies....

They're strange, the Aussies. Because if they like you, they say, 'Oh, he's an Aussie.' And I keep saying, 'I'm not, I'm from Preston.' There's nothing Australian about me. Don't start claiming me just because I've got a job over here.

It annoys me when I phone a hotel receptionist in my own country, and they don't understand what I am saying because they don't speak English. I think that's wrong. It's nothing to do with being politically correct or incorrect; it's just not right.

I wish I'd walked out of 'The...

I wish I'd walked out of 'The Tourist' with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. I said to the missus after two minutes, 'He's her husband.' An hour and a half's worth of nonsense later, the big twist at the end is... he's her husband.

Since leaving cricket, I've tried my hand at professional boxing, a live stage show, and working for TV. I've had some interesting experiences, including working with the former basketball player Dennis Rodman.

Andrew Flintoff 84 quotes

I can remember all the bad games and rubbish shots I've played far more than all my successes. Luckily, as I've got older, I've got better at dealing with that. What's the point of regrets? They don't change anything.

I have been called a man of many talents, but I like to keep a few of those talents hidden.
