“I’ve always been a Packer, always will be a Packer.”

You have to believe you’re great. You have to have an air about you. My success wasn’t because I was a great talent, but because I wanted it more than anybody else. Every minute I step on that field, I want to prove I’m the best player in the league.

You’re never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they’re in front of you.

With each game I play, with each season I play, I’m running out of chances. You’re never guaranteed next year. You’re never guaranteed the next game. You have to seize the opportunity when it’s there in front of you.

I consider adversity being good sometimes you know.

Most talented players don’t always succeed. Some don’t even make the team. It’s more what’s inside.

It’s been a wonderful career, I couldn’t ask for anything more.

It’s been six years since I have had a drink and I have two girls, and my priorities are a lot different now and I just can’t believe I was that guy. And I would not go back, I would not trade the way I am now for anything.

You know, I’ve had my ups and downs.

It is unlikely Yanukovich won. If he did, his government made it impossible to determine.

I know I can still play, but it’s like I told my wife, I’m just tired mentally. I’m just tired.

I know it’s not a one man team win or lose.

I don’t need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.

If I can change than anyone can change. I promise you that.

I don’t spend a lot of time here in New York. I didn’t realize there were so many Bruins fans in New York.

I don’t recommend trying to cram a lot of long opening-move variations into your head.

What really matters in a workplace, what helps an employer if you’ve got a unionised workforce is if your shop stewards know the rules of the game, if your safety reps are taught to be able to examine situations to make sure the workplace is more safety.

Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.

Don’t count your eggs until the chicken’s laid them.

It’s a 90 minute game for sure. In fact I used to train for a 190 minute game so that when the whistle blew at the end of the match I could have played another 90 minutes.

Four turnovers. Two assists. I told him he’d have the game ball if he had taken care of the ball a little bit better.

I think my stubbornness, hardheadedness and stupidity is what has allowed me to play for 20 years.
