Losing is essential to anyone's success. The more you lose, the more you want to win.

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.

How's the game changed in my 15 years in the league? Well, we used to be called hard-working players. Now we're overpaid crybabies.

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

I am 10 times smarter than everyone else in this game. Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

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.

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