My wife and I really enjoy a glass of red wine. We're too old to drink cheap wine, and we don't.
After I started to understand the spiritual dimension of life, I understood the responsibilities you have as a husband, a father, a friend and a hockey player.
I'm pretty transparent and have no problem sharing my weaknesses.
There is no wrinkle-free life.
I'm a very, very proud Canadian, and having the privilege to represent my country on the international level was the highlight of my 18-year career.
I'm so proud to be Canadian. I've been to 58 countries, and they're wonderful countries, but Canada is the best.
When fairy tales are written in the west, they're known as folklore. In the east, fairy tales are called religions.
Take one day at a time. Allow yourself to change.
When you have hope, and you have peace, you can handle anything.
Canadians don't have a very big political lever, we're nice guys.
I get up every morning and it's going to be a great day. You never know when it's going to be over so I refuse to have a bad day.
I get as much fan mail today and sign as many autographs as I did when I played. It's mind-boggling to a certain degree.
I have never been worried because when you have hope and peace, you can handle anything.
I'm not nearly as important as I used to think I was. It's a wonderful discovery.
