I feel more comfortable confidence-wise. You get to the NHL, and you're nervous about trying things. With experience, you're not as afraid of being creative.

The biggest thing I have learned is you can't take anything for granted. You have to work as hard as you can every night, regardless.

On every level I have played I've heard, 'Am I going to perform or not because of my size?' I think I have proved to people I can perform regardless of how big I am.

I've spent every game I've ever played making sure I'm out-working the other guy.

Why would I want four or five more inches? I use my speed.

New York is a place I wanted to come

You want to be the guy who makes an impact in every game. In this sport it's all about results-winning games and making the playoffs.

I don't know WHEN I'll be big enough to play!

I made the move (to #NYR) thinking about this opportunity, to play in the #StanleyCup Final.

What is courage without fear?

The realm of love is light of miracles.

The whole of the world could be deduced from the smallest grain of sand, if one studied it closely enough.

My husband would not give me an opportunity for worship. That was his greatness. They are cowards who claim absolute devotion from their wives as their right

We can only move to a long-term resolution regarding terrorism and war by planting seeds of peace. We have to start with ourselves.

The wonder is, not that the field of stars is so vast, but that man has measured it.

Why does the blind man's wife paint herself.

I learned about what I love. Imagination, deep friendship, animals, family, the natural world, ideas and ideals ... and silliness.

We have blacks and whites, Jews and Arabs, Serbs and Croats, and Filipinos and Vietnamese here. At the end of the day, everyone is each other's brother.

This was the most emotional title of my career. I was the youngest champion, and now I'm the oldest.
