"Canadian hockey fans... They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA."

"If you're going to play hockey now, you have to be able to play. If you have the ability to fight and play, you're an unbelievable commodity. But if you can only fight, there might be six of those guys left in the league, and I can guarantee they're going fast."

"I'm scared to death to fly commercial... I have not flown commercial since 9/11."

"You know what? I don't care. I'm my own guy. I'm very secure with my sexuality. I can cry anytime I want."

"I'm realistic. And realistically, I'm not that type of player that earns that type of money any more. So I'd be willing to take a little cut to get a couple of extra years."

"My teeth have never been touched. Why did I tell you that? Knock on wood. I've got a few scars over the eyes, a couple on the chin, a few on the beak and one across the cheek. But my luck is running out."
