"Being surrounded by hockey, I got forced into it as a kid. I started skating when I was 4 and had a rink only 10 minutes from my home. In my town, we had one outdoor rink and one indoor rink, so you could skate all year long. I lived by a lake, too, so we did a lot of skating on the lake."

"Hair wax is my go-to. When it comes to shampoo, I use whatever is at the rink."

"When I'm in the city, I like to go to different events and get introduced to different people. That's what New York is all about. There is great diversity, and there are people from all over the world who have done amazing things. That's my favorite thing to do: meet new people."

"I never want to hurt anyone on the ice. That's not the type of player I am."

"As I get older, my sense of humor is my biggest asset."

"Wit is a weapon. Jokes are a masculine way of inflicting superiority. But humor is the pursuit of a gentle grin, usually in solitude."

"The word 'funny' is a bit like the word 'love' - we don't have enough words to describe the many varieties."

"Incongruity, they say, is one of the main ingredients of humor. Maybe it's because everybody can feel superior to me. I honestly don't know."
