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.

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.

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.

In a way, by being fully committed to the Olympic movement globally, I'm better able to promote women's hockey and talk about women's hockey and put a face to women's hockey, to all the IOC members.

You have to appreciate where you have come from to know who you are in the present and whom you would like to be in the future.

The creative urge is the demon that will not accept anything second rate.

First, separate ground, sea and air warfare is gone forever. If ever again we should be involved in war, we will fight it in all elements, with all services, as one single concentrated effort.

I'm such a hater, and will hate on anything.

Women are not forgiven for aging.

I think if I produced a show I would not want to be part of that production. That's not... I'm not... I mean, I couldn't even sell Boy Scout chocolate bars when I was a kid!

Every junkie is like a setting sun.

Too often we try to use God to change our circumstance, when God is trying to use our circumstance to change us.

We are all sinners. But may the Lord not let us be hypocrites. Hypocrites don’t know the meaning of forgiveness, joy and the love of God.

Practice your swing until it becomes a habit of mind and muscle.
