I love proving people wrong.

I'm competitive. I'd love another chance to be part of a Stanley Cup championship team. That'd be awesome.

It's always discouraging when you don't have things go your way. They are frustrated just like the rest of us.

When people count me out, that gets me motivated.

There's an old saying that when it gets tough the tough get going. You have to work your way through these things.

I'm definitely one of the best. Always have been; always will be. I won't accept anything less.

I have been dealing with back problems since 1995 when I was with the Blackhawks, and I've only missed part of one season because of it. That was last season in Toronto.

I'm not a pretty goalie and I don't ever want to be called one, to tell you the truth.

I take it upon myself to get motivated. I know when I have a bad game. It's something I think about myself when it happens, and I don't need someone to tell me I didn't do this or didn't do that.

I simply don't accept losing well. I just feel whatever it takes to win, you have to do it.

I've learned not to be as maniacal as I used to be.

We have to be bigger than the things we suffer.

A crushing defeat is the most humbling inoculation for arrogance.

When good cheer is lacking our friends will be packing.

You know what, we don't know diddley squat about brains and no one has a clue how these things work, so don't believe what anyone tells you.

We are fighting for the right to live as free humans in this society. In fact, we are actually fighting for rights that are even greater than civil rights and that is human rights.

Did I ever tell my constituents that if they liked their plan they could keep it? I would have if I'd ever met anybody who liked his or her plan. But that was not my experience.

"You're next, after the feather dancers." And you had to get their attention, because otherwise people would go, "Oh, a poet." You really have to learn.

It is a fact which escapes no one, that, generally speaking, whoso is acquainted with his worth has but a little stock to cultivate acquaintance with.
