thinking trying want
When you bowl at him you are not just trying to get him out, you are trying to impress him. "I want him to walk off thinking 'that Flintoff, he's all right isn't he?" I feel privileged to have played against him.
games comment
It's usually the funny comments which are the better ones - and they are good for the game.
morning thinking bad-mood
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.
predictions
I'm not keen on making predictions.
media fit get-fit
Whatever was written in the media was beyond me. The only thing I could control was getting fit.
cracks machines bats
A lot of the lads have a bat for the nets, a bat for facing the bowling machine and a separate bat for the match. I'll just crack on with a bat until it breaks - then crack on with another one.
looks wells realising
I'm not really someone who looks forward to the gym. But I realise it's something that I have to do to perform well on the pitch.
clothes necks excuse
One of the things I've always thought is a drag in so many period adaptations is that they are always buttoned up to the neck in so many clothes all the time. I'm always looking for excuses to get them out of their clothes.
drama tvs needs
Novels often have leisurely openings; a TV drama needs an arresting opening.
wife likes documentaries
My wife likes history and documentaries, but I'm not so keen on them. I generally go and do some work if there's one of those on.
character lines looks
Look at Jane Austen. Her characters derive in a reasonably straight line from fairy tales.
thinking people quality
I'm absolutely delighted if people think of me as a reliable purveyor of quality period stuff.
jobs doe ifs
I would love it if anyone gave me the job of adapting 'The Great Gatsby,' but nobody ever does.
beautiful dark blue
I used to have this Mercedes, a dark blue 450SLC, which was the most beautiful car. I'd like to have another unusual, beautiful car.
