I played basketball and soccer but they are very different games, obviously. However, playing any kind of sport always helps you develop physically.

I wear tinted visor not to trick other players, but so hot girls in stands don't see me looking at them

I never look forward. I live for today. If you think about what's going to happen in a year, in two years, then you begin to plan. And plans never come true.

My weapon isn't my shot. It's me.

Nobody ever tells me to give them a pass or anything. My job is to score goals, and if I don't shoot the puck, I can't score goals.

I'm okay. Russian machine never breaks.

I want to win, I want to win everything. If I have a chance to win, why not?

I don't care what people say about me and what they think about me. I care about my team and I care about myself. Lots of people watch hockey, and I think everybody has different thinking.

Right now I'm scoring goals and I'm the king of the world. And a couple weeks ago I was almost in the toilet. So maybe you just forget to flush me.

My hair was too big. And my head is big, and my hair is big, so my helmet gets too small. So I have to make a haircut.

Self-esteem is not a luxury

Indeed, infatuation thrives on image (while love thrives on knowledge).

There are two ways of spreading light to be candle, or the mirror that reflects it.

Reach for something out of the ordinary. You must dare to even come close.

A man has no more right to an opinion for which he cannot account than for a glass of beer for which he cannot pay.

I can play the game only one way. I must play every shot for all there is in it. I cannot play safe.

Women don't like violence, But when their husbands desert them, that is different.

How you see where you are always depends on where you've been.
