Right now I'm scoring goals and I'm the king of the world. And a couple weeks ago I was almost in the toilet. So maybe you just forget to flush me.

I played basketball and soccer but they are very different games, obviously. However, playing any kind of sport always helps you develop physically.

I'm okay. Russian machine never breaks.

Nobody ever tells me to give them a pass or anything. My job is to score goals, and if I don't shoot the puck, I can't score goals.

My style is unique and it's my own. I do not try to copy or imitate anybody.

Hockey is my life, you know. If I do not play hockey, I do not know what I do.

I never look forward. I live for today. If you think about what's going to happen in a year, in two years, then you begin to plan. And plans never come true.
