My philosophy, don't let cancer ruin your life. You get up every day and use what you have and what time you have left.

I'm not nearly as important as I used to think I was. It's a wonderful discovery.

I thought happiness came from achievement.

When you have cancer, you can define the trivial from the important very quickly.

I just refuse to worry or get upset or be fearful. It doesn't do one particle of good.

Contentment does not come from achievement.

You can say what you want about me, but don't mess with my wife.

Cancer is cancer. I've got a great life if I can just stay alive.

I think having the cancer allowed me to be able to freely talk about my faith.

I have never been worried because when you have hope and peace, you can handle anything.

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.

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.

The Bible says not to worry so I don't. I just get up in the morning and ask God for help to get through the day. If tomorrow shows up then I'll take the same shot tomorrow.

There is no wrinkle-free life.

I always thought Christians were the weak people. When you can't make it in life then you have to ask God. I really prided myself on being a self-made man.

My philosophy is I take today, live it the best way I can and if I wake up I'll take another shot at tomorrow.

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.

Pride is about the ugliest trait somebody can have.

I'm pretty transparent and have no problem sharing my weaknesses.

I don't eat fast food any more, not since I got cancer.

I'm so proud to be Canadian. I've been to 58 countries, and they're wonderful countries, but Canada is the best.

When you have hope, and you have peace, you can handle anything.

Contentment does not come from achievement. It comes from a relationship with the Lord.

The Lord expects us to enjoy our lives. He says there will be some brutal times, but we shouldn't get all bent out of shape about it.

When fairy tales are written in the west, they're known as folklore. In the east, fairy tales are called religions.
