Why would I want four or five more inches? I use my speed.

The biggest thing I have learned is you can't take anything for granted. You have to work as hard as you can every night, regardless.

On every level I have played I've heard, 'Am I going to perform or not because of my size?' I think I have proved to people I can perform regardless of how big I am.

I've spent every game I've ever played making sure I'm out-working the other guy.

I feel more comfortable confidence-wise. You get to the NHL, and you're nervous about trying things. With experience, you're not as afraid of being creative.

New York is a place I wanted to come

You want to be the guy who makes an impact in every game. In this sport it's all about results-winning games and making the playoffs.

Sometimes offensive players get turned into defensive players, which sometimes isn't a bad thing, but for me I need a chance to play more offense.

I don't know WHEN I'll be big enough to play!

I made the move (to #NYR) thinking about this opportunity, to play in the #StanleyCup Final.

Living a natural life is living in dominion of a darkened mind

Life is just one small piece of light between two eternal darknesses.

We always fall in love with a story, not a name or a body but what is inscribed in the man.

You just wait. I'm going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.

When Medusa looks in the mirror, she sees the Lady of Sorrows.

Yes, I very much like to have a personal stake in what I’m writing about.

But this is a remarkable egg, an egg worth talking about, an egg worth crossing the street for, an egg worth writing about.

It is found by experience that admirable laws and right precedents among the good have their origin in the misdeeds of others.

I do explore the emotion every once in a while. I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy. My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

For it is the grace of Christ, and not our own virtue, that gives us the power to overcome the flesh and the world.
