I think you're a little more fragile when you're younger.

I'm sure once my career's over, when I look back when I'm older, I can maybe appreciate it a little bit more.

Everybody is excited to play so I think who plays with whom is a minor thing at this point.

I'm 31 years old and I want to be part of a championship team before my career is over.

And when things are not going well in Toronto, you're going to hear about it. And you're going to say things are not good at all, where it's really not that bad.

My job is to make sure we keep performing.

I think people want success, you know, and I'm the captain.

When I was young, I would go to the races and it was an unbelievable feeling when you'd watch them race.

Seeing someone else perform and letting me be the critic for once... that's not a bad thing.

Any chance you have to sit back and be the one watching is great.

With the fans and the Toronto Maple Leafs organization, the way I've been treated here has been awesome.

I think you're a little more fragile when you're younger.

I've been around racing a fairly long time, but when it comes to the important issues, I'm happy to let others make the big decisions.

I put a lot of pressure on myself, more than anyone else.

I always thought Ray Bourque was a great competitor.

Since I came here I've been treated awesome, in all aspects. I really enjoy playing here.

It's all trotters in Sweden, so that's what's always caught my eye.

At this level, you put a lot of pressure on yourself as a player to perform and do well.

It was hard to watch, the business side is so big in the game.

Players come and go, good friends, players who performed well. You can't control that.

There's no reason why children in inner cities or rural areas do not receive the same quality education or opportunities as those in suburbs or wealthy neighborhoods. If we truly believe in giving all citizens a chance to pursue happiness and pursue their goals, then we cannot continue to marginalize entire groups of people.

Religion is faith. Faith is belief without evidence. Belief without evidence cannot be shared. Faith is a feeling. Love is also a feeling, but love makes no universal claims. Love is pure.

The girls in my books are out solving their own problems.

I'm a big fan of Rand Paul; he and I are good friends. I don't agree with him on foreign policy.

I'm a huge movie nerd.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

New York and Los Angeles are really one city, and the rest of the country is America.

I'm doing everything in my power to be a great mother. I wish I could be with her throughout the day, because I'm always working, but I make sure that whether it's the morning or nighttime, I make it extra special.

I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

It's still about the women. It's not called Desperate Plumber. People are more interested in cat fights.

As I slowly managed to take what I had learned into a transition from contestant to announcer and warm-up, I first had to prove myself on pilots. And as you know, many pilots are taped for each show that is lucky enough to breakthrough to being a series.

I am ready.

The prosperity of the United States and the prosperity of the Hispanic community, as the fastest-growing community, are one and the same. The destinies are one and the same.

I've learned to develop a thick skin, but you're bound to be affected when you read something bad about yourself in the paper and it's rubbed in your face over and over.

I'd love to retouch my whole life.

Nobody is bound by any obligation unless it has first been freely accepted.

I wasn't a jock in school, and by the 10th grade, when I was in boarding school I was carrying water buckets for the girls' hockey team. I was the kid with long hair and glasses and acne trying to learn how to play guitar and piano in the music center. I was not an athlete past the age of 13 or 14 when they start throwing the ball really fast.

Sometimes, but the year I lived in France I started to write songs.

We learn, grow and become compassionate and generous as much through exile as homecoming, as much through loss as gain, as much through giving things away as in receiving what we believe to be our due.

Lipstick is the red badge of courage.

Faith is not uprooted by dialectic proof; it must already be deeply shaken by other causes to be unable to withstand the shock of argument.

For our teams that do great work, we have a tradition of giving Rolex watches. If you see all the key guys with their Rolexes, that's sort of our Medal of Honor if you do something big.

I have a really dry sense of humor. I don't think it's funny when people wink at the camera. That's more of an actor thing, just committing to whatever the thing is.

Grace under pressure isn't just about bullfighters and men at war. It's about getting up every day to face a job or a white boss you don't like but have to face to feed your children so they'll grow up to be a better generation.
