Being a man of faith, what was so interesting to me was the subject, which started, by the way, with Anne Rice's wonderful books.

There's always a melody running around in my mind and my brain; and I'm really thankful for it.

I knew that I wanted to create rich themes, and something that people might really relate to emotionally. That was the quest, authenticity, and then just to make the audience feel something.

Telling the truth is like exposing the underside of our wings. We only see that part when we fly.

If somebody asked me to come up with a mental image of my hockey career, there is absolutely no doubt I would be wearing the uniform of the Vancouver Canucks in it.
