Do I catch flak because I'm so much smarter than everyone else? I don't know.

I'm good at everything.

Canadian hockey fans... They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA.

I'm very impatient. I am. That's the bane of my game. I don't think about what I'm going to do - I just go hit it, I don't stop to wait and think. Costs me two shots a round.

I see myself playing as long as I am partially enjoying the game and partially successful and they are paying me. But honestly, two more years is about all I can take.

You can't get big in hockey. You need to be pliable... they've even taken fighting out of the game, so there's no more of those big huge guys who just fight.

My teeth have never been touched. Why did I tell you that? Knock on wood. I've got a few scars over the eyes, a couple on the chin, a few on the beak and one across the cheek. But my luck is running out.

Sometimes guys need to cry. Some hockey players think they're too tough to cry.

You have to know how to score.

Do I catch flak because I'm so much smarter than everyone else? I don't know.

I'm scared to death to fly commercial... I have not flown commercial since 9/11.

I'm patient with crossword puzzles and the most impatient golfer.

I'm known as a winner now.

Baseball has all the money.

There are so many unbelievable words... But that doesn't mean I have a favorite word.

I'm not done yet making people miserable. If they're going to make me miserable, then I'm going to make them miserable.

I'm realistic. And realistically, I'm not that type of player that earns that type of money any more. So I'd be willing to take a little cut to get a couple of extra years.

If you're going to play hockey now, you have to be able to play. If you have the ability to fight and play, you're an unbelievable commodity. But if you can only fight, there might be six of those guys left in the league, and I can guarantee they're going fast.

I think the biggest thing for me is being able to adjust to the way the game has changed. It's basically a 180-degree turn from the style I like to play. That's what I think I'm most proud of, being able to fit into this style of game and still be fairly successful.

You know what? I don't care. I'm my own guy. I'm very secure with my sexuality. I can cry anytime I want.

Because I don't look like I'm skating around as hard as Bobby Bassen doesn't mean my mind isn't working twice as hard as Bobby's mind. Just because I can't fight like Kelly Chase doesn't mean standing in front of the net getting cross-checked and slashed isn't toughness as well.

Don't worry what people say or what people think. Be yourself.

I am very proud to align myself with Miken - a brand known as an innovator and leader in the development of high performance sports equipment.

I was kind of smart enough when I was young, 14 or 15 years old, to realize that if you're ever going to do anything and step out of the shadow of your own dad - not only in hockey, but in life itself - you're going to have to learn you're Brett and not 'Bobby's son.'

I've said for years I could never figure out why Calgary ever drafted me. When I got there, I think they had eight or nine right wingers already. These guys were premiere players. It's not like they were extremely late in their careers, either.

Nobody should live in an environment that's not healthy.

You know what, I had 11 great years with St. Louis. My gosh, those are the best years of my life. And I will never, ever forget that.

You cant get big in hockey. You need to be pliable... theyve even taken fighting out of the game so theres no more of those big huge guys who just fight.

Directors and writers have a lot of stress as well, because they have people they answer to.

In the theatre, the actor is given immediate feedback.

There is no point at which you can say, 'Well, I'm successful now. I might as well take a nap.'

My life revolves around music and always will. I need to be a part of music and not an observer.

The universe is very large, and its boundaries are not known very well, but it is still possible to define some kind of a radius to be associated with it.

The death of a 20-year-old woman is intuitively worse than that of a 2-month-old girl, even though the baby has had less life. The 20-year-old has a much more developed personality than the infant, and has drawn upon the investment of others to begin as-yet-unfulfilled projects.

Valentine's Day is a perfect time to reject the idea that the ideal man is taller, richer, more knowledgeable, more renowned, or more powerful.

I'm just a risk taker. I have gut instincts.

Purer colors have in themselves independently of the objects they serve to express a significant action on the feelings of those who look at them.

Theater has always been terrifying to me.

Unfortunately, as you hire more people, the casual, informal 'do what it takes' culture, which worked so well at less than 40 people, becomes chaotic and less effective.

I prefer department stores. In boutiques, they come up and ask you if you need help. I can't get lost in the experience.

Keeping a lid on taxes is not just good for the taxpayer. It's a powerful way to force government to be more accountable, set priorities and spend smarter. Let me repeat that: more accountable, set priorities and spend smarter - that's what we need to be about.

The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.

A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently.

When I was publishing my first books, the previous generation of authors was fading away, so I was welcomed because I was a new author.

When I do good I feel good. When I do bad I feel bad. Thats my religion.

If you want the beautiful moments to shine, you have to contrast that with dark and gruesome moments. That's the way life is.

Time flies like an arrow fruit flies like a banana.

High culture isn't what it used to be.

The ethics of editorial judgement, however, began to go though a sea change during the late 1970s and '80s when the Carter and Reagan Administrations de-regulated the television industry.
