People judge you by the way you play in the playoffs.

I love to play for Pittsburgh. If they can't afford me, then I'd love to play in L.A. or New York.

Most people have friends, but no money. I have the opposite. I don't have a chance to talk to my real friends, the ones I've had since I was 5 years old. Sometimes I wish I could bring Czechoslovakia to America. Then I would be the happiest guy in the world.

I yell at the players if I don't like the way they are playing. But when they're playing well, I hug them.

I know how well I can play. I don't mention myself with the other players. I mention myself with the best.

My goal was to play in the NHL, because that is the best hockey in the world.

Old people, don't watch it because you might die just watching it.
