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

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

When I'm not happy, I can't play. That's just the way I am.

It's tough in the NHL; you have to produce on a high level. And everybody expects you to do it because you make a lot of money. And I never minded it. I always want to be that guy.

I'm not 21 and trying to prove something with my words.
