I'm patient with crossword puzzles and the most impatient golfer.

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.

It's like the animal kingdom. Adapt or go extinct.

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.

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.

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.

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.
