It's nice to go to small places where we had a lot of fans. They followed our career and it's kind of a way to say thank you to them and do it for a good cause.

It was my dream playing for the Montreal Canadiens - it was my dad's team.

Go ahead, work hard and never be afraid to try something. Even if you don't make it, at least you can say you tried

Being drafted by the Montreal Canadiens, that was the greatest moment in my career. And stealing the Stanley Cup in 1978 and bringing it back to my hometown of Thurso.

The day you hear someone call me captain will be the day I buy a boat.

When trouble comes, it's your family that supports you.

I realized that my family was more important to me than downtown night life.

You do not play hockey for good seasons. You play to win the Stanley Cup. It has to be the objective.

Anyway, I've never been captain in 16 years in the NHL. But that didn't stop me being a leader in my own way.

The crowd doesn't give a crap as long as you bring the money in.

Play every game as if it's your last one

No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends (John 15:13).

When you care about someone and give them something special. Something that they treasire. That's a gift.

The eyes those silent tongues of love.

Music should be universal. My life perspective, my lifestyle - I'm not going to impose that on the people that listen to my music. That's kind of a perverse form of snobbery I like to reject.

Religion is like music, one must have an ear for it. Some people have none at all.

This country has had 200 years of hegemony over the rest of the world, and it feels like our politicians, they just want to give that back.

Don't let the bastards grind you down. I repeat this to myself but it conveys nothing. You might as well say, Don't let there be air; or Don't be. I suppose you could say that.

Nuclear weapons can be dismantled, but they cannot be uninvented.

It's only a dream Just a memory without anywhere to stay

I do believe in art and commerce coming together.
