People judge you by the way you play in the playoffs.

You can't give up in any game, even if you are losing.

For me, it is the worst kind of sacrilege if you are given some of special talent and you don't take advantage of this gift.

All that matters is that you find a way to put the puck in the net. It doesn't matter how. I learned that from Mario.

I yell at the players if I don't like the way they are playing. But when they're playing well, I hug them.

There's probably a lot of people wondering if I can play.

I don't try to be anything. I just want to play my game.

I love to play for Pittsburgh. If they can't afford me, then I'd love to play in L.A. or New York.

You appreciate things after you lose them.

I know how well I can play. I don't mention myself with the other players. I mention myself with the best.

I'm not 21 and trying to prove something with my words.

Hopes and desires are the fundamental source if creation.

I am a hopeless romantic.

When you've just done it, you're not sure. But when you've sat with it for a couple of hours and you don't want to do anything more to it, that's a great feeling. It can stand on its own two feet.

I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be 'sexy,' even before I knew what the word was.

The aim of flattery is to soothe and encourage us by assuring us of the truth of an opinion we have already formed about ourselves.

So I ask that these papers be taken for what they merely are: exercises, trials, tryouts, a means of displaying possibilities, not establishing fact.

That is why we live in a world where there are so many wars and so much destruction. This is an arena of power.

I like anybody who does any kind of construction.

Music is always my great escape... I get to be that wild child and do whatever the hell I want on stage.

Now is the dwelling place of God himself.
