When you come to a new team, new world, new people, you feel a little bit uncomfortable. But my teammates, they are tremendous guys.

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.

If you go to ice and you think, 'I must score' or 'I must get some points,' you won't score or get any points. You must go and play and don't think about it.

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.

Only the cruelest hunters set their traps with terror and trepidation.

What was the future? The future was a solid wall, not promising, not threatening - all bunk. No guarantees of anything, not even the guarantee that life isn't one big joke.

People, we're always reaching for these big things... you know? Big ideas... big moments... big lives. And all the while the little things we're ignoring are undoing us.

Everything eaten is killed. Every meal is a sacrifice.

I love your cooking, honey, but sometimes I need some real food.

After months of negotiations, Iran has finally agreed to reduce its nuclear weapons program. Which was great until Putin showed up and said, 'Hi, I'm here about Craigslist ad for nukes.'

There's not an orchestra in the world that doesn't have weaknesses. None of us can play everything well. The repertoire is just too big.

I paid too much for it, but it's worth it.

I feel like I'm kind of an obvious person. I like to keep some things in my life sacred, like keep the sacred, sacred. Apart from that part of my life, I'm a very open person.

When your goal is to gain experience, perspective, and knowledge, failure is no longer a possibility
