I've been real fortunate to be on a lot of great teams.

Sometimes you can press a little bit and you're trying to do too much and you're trying too hard. You want to win so bad and you want to help the team so badly that you end up trying too much instead of letting the play come to you.

I have been dealing with back problems since 1995 when I was with the Blackhawks, and I've only missed part of one season because of it. That was last season in Toronto.

I love proving people wrong.

My whole career I'm used to playing a lot of games.

I just have a lot of respect for Terry and his family. He played without a mask, and his life was tragically ended. And it just means a lot to me to be up there with him and the other greats that have played that long.

It's always discouraging when you don't have things go your way. They are frustrated just like the rest of us.

I think everybody has to be better, right from me out. Everybody has to step up their games for us to be successful here. I've been lucky to be on some good teams over the years and that's what it takes, everybody contributing night after night.

I've been real fortunate to be on a lot of great teams.

When one guy undermines the other, it only causes trouble, and the team isn't successful. It's very important for both of us to accept our role and help the team. One guy can get hot, and if that's Alex, I'll support him and help any way I can.

It takes two guys on a team to do very well in the end and be successful.

There are a lot more shots coming at the net and guys are just shooting it at the net because they have more time and pucks are going in off legs and feet and shoulders and heads, so you might have to play out a little further on the shot and hope it hits you.

One minute you're a slug and the next minute you're a hero, so you don't know what to think.

I hate to lose. Sometimes, I let my emotions get out of control.

I'm competitive. I'd love another chance to be part of a Stanley Cup championship team. That'd be awesome.

I've learned not to be as maniacal as I used to be.

Sometimes I can be misunderstood. I'm really competitive.

Winning the Stanley Cup in '99 was a dream come true. I'll never forget it.

Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life’s cruelest irony.

Comprehensive immigration reform would reduce the deficit and help grow the economy.

To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will.

For me, Westernization is not about consuming fanciful goods; it's about a system of free speech, democracy, egalitarianism and respect for the people's rights and dignity.

Everything that's supposedly caused by stress, I tell people there's a Nobel Prize there if you find out the real cause.

The world shall now transform into pumpkin everything.

I never feel like I have anything. People can tell me a thousand times, 'You're the guy, you're the guy,' and I'm just like, 'We'll see when I'm on the set.'

I remember when I met my wife and that she could just grab my hand and I would just ease. I don't know how to say that but it was one of the coolest things. It was strange, but it definitely changed my life.

First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.

In order to write novels for a living - it's not pathological, but I do think and worry and brood and fidget about stuff that I'm working on.

To try to fix the future is a manifest absurdity.

I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.

I fully expected that, by the end of the century, we would have achieved substantially more than we actually did.

The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizen's skin.

Fixed mindset worries in the nest and the growth mindset dances on the edge.

If my training goes well and according to plan I feel that I am capable of a top 8 finish in Athens. It will be a very difficult and technical course which will be to my advantage.

Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger.

I've sold a lot of different product. Very briefly, I sold Time Life Books on the phone.

No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can't go all the way around.

Visual surprise is natural in the Caribbean; it comes with the landscape, and faced with its beauty, the sigh of History dissolves.

Moreover, broad plans commensurate with our national purpose and resources would bring conviction of our power to every soldier in the front line, to the nations associated with us in the war, and to the enemy.

Meat-fetishiser that I was, I used to find willed vegetarianism inexplicable. It was one thing to be a vegetarian because of religious and caste reasons - something I was familiar with because of my Indian upbringing - but to choose to be a vegetarian when you could eat meat for every meal every day? That seemed madness to me.

When I was six, the Korean War broke out, and all the classrooms were destroyed by war. We studied under the trees or in whatever buildings were left.

I drive relatively fast - within the remits of the law, obviously - but I struggle with people who do stupid things on the road. I have a massive urge to shout expletives at them.
