I look at myself, and how much I've gotten just because I play a sport well.

That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.

I'm not playing for lack of options. But this is such a fleeting thing. When I'm done, I'm never, ever going to be able to come back to it. I know Vancouver is my last go.

It feels right. But it's emotional. Saying goodbye to anything you've done that long is hard.

There were no women's players I knew of. I didn't even know women's hockey existed.

I'm getting more towards that point where I'm ready to kind of pass the torch on and see the next generation succeed behind me.

When you look back from your Olympic experience, you never want to question whether you could have done more. The one thing you can control is your off-ice preparation.

I still love hockey. It's just I'm at a different stage of my life and I think I'm just ready to grow in other ways outside of just being a hockey player.

I have enough muscle already. Now I want to use it in more efficient ways.

The more I've done work with the IOC the more I've come to realize I'm really excited about this, the work that I'm doing and the impact that I can have if I'm fully committed to it.

Right now, I'm standing behind the glass, and I guess that's a metaphor for how my life will be going forward.

We're still on the run. That's for sure.Right on. This time we're on.And we won't stop till we win.

I started out by believing God for a newer car than the one I was driving. I started out believing God for a nicer apartment than I had. Then I moved up.

We have increasingly fewer and fewer journalists who have any military experience and understand what life is like in the military and in combat.

We need clear days to see the horizons; we need foggy nights to see beyond the horizons! Man sometimes can think much deeper when he sees less!

If people go into music with the idea of competing with other artists, then they're doing it for all the wrong reasons.

My uniform is usually just comfortable clothing. Being a stylist, you spend most of the day at photo shoots covered in safety pins.

I told Tantalus to go chase a doughnut.

I can't understand why anyone would want nuclear warheads. If you shoot them off, it's not like you can take over that country - all you do is kill millions of people.

You live and die by results, I asked to be judged on that and people have.

Success comes in cans, failure comes in can'ts.
