- There is so much uncertainty in cricket. One day you can get a hundred, the next day you can be dismissed for a zero. It makes you become practical about things. Teaches you to accept both success and failure. I think I have learnt a lot about life from cricket.
- Quoted in S. Dinakar, "I have learnt a lot about life from cricket," Sport Star, vol. 24, no. 38 (2001-09-22)
- We should not play like Australia or India or England — we should play like Sri Lanka.
- Quoted in Charlie Austin, "Mahela Jayawardene," Wisden Cricketers' Almanack (2007)
