Quotes

[edit]
  • I had a great time, and I always took care of my body. That's the thing some players don't. For a goalie, there's no reason he can't play until he's 40 if he takes care of himself. The reflexes are still there.
  • I wanted something different—something to make me stand out and for people to notice.
