I have a lot of respect for Ovechkin as a player. I like his enthusiasm. I know the kid has a zest for life and a joy for the game.

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.

If you want to give yourself a fair chance to succeed, never expect too much too soon

..no matter how much one reads, the whole story can never be told.

Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.

The real test of friendship is can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?

Never advise anyone to go to war or to get married. Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. He that has no children brings them up well

I was relying on a kind of natural transition - the transitions made by someone who is slightly deranged.

I used to own a dingy and can still sail one if pushed, but I like the pleasure boats.

I never had the influence of any other singer in my music, so I sounded like myself all the time.

If you actually want to change your world, there is a better way of doing it than blowing yourself up.

It's a sleepy, wonderful, idyllic town but there's a curse on it from 100 years ago, ... The people who died in this kind of boating accident have come back to take their revenge.
