I'm not a nice guy on the field, and I've never really respected a guy who's been a 'nice guy' on the field. I want opposition to be hard, to play to win the game for their team.
Ever since the economic crisis in 2008, millions of people have accepted cuts in all sorts of things - from real wages and living standards to benefits and hospital care - without any real opposition. The cuts may be right, or they may be stupid - but the astonishing thing is how no-one really challenges them.
If the opposition puts two or three players on me, it means that some of our other players are free. If I can play like that, then it is better for the team.
I was faced more with apathy than opposition.
I actually believe that this Trump phenomenon, which has affected many of us, is going to accelerate the use of art for philanthropy, because people are realizing that art is a vehicle for showing opposition - just look at the signs in the women's marches.
Humor and seriousness are not in opposition to each other.
Almost everything I think we've accomplished for the good of the country has been because of liberals against conservative opposition.
People like Mo Ali, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, they are looking to take attack to the opposition and that's when they play their best.
In our system of government, an opposition party doesn't have the ability to pass legislation, but it has the ability to massively screw things up.
You can only beat the opposition that's in front of you, you can only win the trophies that you go for.
