I think every athlete will tell you no matter what sport you're in, when you train so hard and when you care so much about doing what you do, there's a little bit of nerves that come with that. But nerves that won't prevent you form performing, nerves that, hopefully, allow you to be that much more motivated and inspired to do well.

Growing up in Canada, I didn't watch football much.

I want to be the best, so whatever comes with that, I'll have to accept.

It's not that hard to stay grounded. It's the way I was brought up.

Breakaway goals are fun.

For every whack I've given, I've gotten four or five.

For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.

I always wanted to be the best and to get the most out of myself.

I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential.

I don't have one favourite band. I like everything.

I don't think you're human if you don't get nervous.

I try to stay pretty level-headed and just do what I have to do.

I'll be the first one to admit my first couple of years I was pretty hard on the refs.

I'm most comfortable definitely when I'm on the ice. I love to play. It's something that I just love to do.

In my situation there are often things I need to do for the team, so when I get the chance to relax it's all I want to do.

Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.

It's really football, tennis, and golf that I watch other than hockey.

People are going to have their opinions. Whether it's good or bad, I don't really think about it either way.

The more you hesitate in a game, the more your chance of getting hit. Your focus isn't there. When you hesitate, usually you're in trouble.

There's no doubt I'm emotional.
