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'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.

The question I ask myself is: have I really just become a squeamish middle-aged man, or has something happened to the horror genre that shows a growing appetite for watching torture, or at least a desire to explore it on film? And if so, why would that be? I can't pretend I know. I just know I don't like it.

The first author I remember being obsessed by, actually realizing 'I like the way he writes and I like the way he tells stories,' was C.S. Lewis and the 'Narnia' books.

Wouldn't you like to have an augmented memory chip that you could plug into your head so you don't have to look everything up and remember everything?

Why is propaganda so much more successful when it stirs up hatred than when it tries to stir up friendly feeling?

Disney's Tomorrowland is deeply, thoroughly, almost furiously unimaginative.

One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.

If you show up to work five days in a row, nobody's going to pat you on the back - everyone does that. Well, do that with your writing. Just show up. Be there for it. When you get an idea, write it down somewhere and then be a steward of that idea.

I'm not against speaking publicly and having passion for something. One of the cardinal beauties of America is that we have the freedom to do so.

Music is the silence between the notes.

A marvellous power of expression over language often distinguishes genius; but Shakespeare in his phrases seems independent of the bonds of language as of the bonds of metre.

I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing.

I speed up past mirrors.

I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning, which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.

Condemnatory conservatism isn't anything I'm interested in.

Many people suffer at the hands of others. The world can be unfair, at times mercilessly so. Millions of people in the world are genuine victims, right now. All of us will be at some point, whether it's for small matters or large, for a long duration or short. But we aren't all victims, not all the time anyway, not for everything.

And because I love this life I know I shall love death as well The child cries out when From the right breast the mother Takes it away, in the very next moment to find in the left one its consolation.

I don't like poetry that just slaps violent words on a canvas, as it were.

I'm the type of person who likes to enjoy everything that I do, take advantage of every opportunity in life.

I was the lead in two musicals, and I took dance classes.

There must be somebody there, because somebody must have said Nobody.

It's not really like you have a thing like a supermodel anymore. It's more of a word than a real existence. I think, also, looking at it from a designer's point of view, at one point maybe they felt the stars took too much attention away from the clothes.
