When I'm not happy, I can't play. That's just the way I am.

You can't give up in any game, even if you are losing.

For me, it is the worst kind of sacrilege if you are given some of special talent and you don't take advantage of this gift.

All that matters is that you find a way to put the puck in the net. It doesn't matter how. I learned that from Mario.

I yell at the players if I don't like the way they are playing. But when they're playing well, I hug them.

There's probably a lot of people wondering if I can play.

I don't try to be anything. I just want to play my game.

I love to play for Pittsburgh. If they can't afford me, then I'd love to play in L.A. or New York.

You appreciate things after you lose them.

I know how well I can play. I don't mention myself with the other players. I mention myself with the best.

Gratitude promotes good well-being.

When you say, 'I can’t do that,' you're expressing yourself incorrectly. You should say, 'I couldn’t do that before.'

I miss him like one might miss a scar, or wooden leg, something disfiguring but characteristic.

It is more honorable to be raised to a throne than to be born to one. Fortune bestows the one, merit obtains the other.

I'll retire when they pry my cold, dead fingers off of my Bible.

Unjust rule does not last forever.
