And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.

The day I stop giving is the day I stop receiving. The day I stop learning is the day I stop growing. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.

Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don't take the shot.

Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.

You'll never catch me bragging about goals, but I'll talk all you want about my assists.

The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.

A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

No matter who you are, we're creatures of habit. The better your habits are, the better they will be in pressure situations.

Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.

Maybe it wasn't the talent the Lord gave me-maybe it was the passion.

I believe in the gods. Or rather I believe that I believe in the gods. But I don't believe that they are great brooding presences watching over us I believe they are completely absent-minded.

Happiness means nothing to me. I just want to have meaning and purpose.

When you've only got one little shimmer of sunshine, you capture it best you can.

What is the use of straining after an amiable view of things, when a cynical view is most likely to be the true one?.

...governments, including free and democratic governments, are not really friendly to freedom and democracy. They abhor any rule of law that limits their powers and penchant for social engineering.

Theres nothing like taking two flights when you have a horrible hangover. Its bad when people can see actual alcohol seeping out of your disgusting pores.

I realised there were no good role models for kids. Popeye eats spinach, but also smokes and hits people.

It is a virtue to admit ignorance when you don't know, but not to wallow in ignorance as an end in itself. People say if we don't believe god is watching over us, we abandon morality. Are they right?

It's an indulgence to sit in a room and discuss your beliefs as if they were a juicy piece of gossip.

Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
